Cosimo Bambi (born 21 September 1980, in Florence, Italy) is an Italian relativist and cosmologist who is currently a professor of physics at Fudan University in Shanghai, China.[1][2]
Bambi's research interests include strong field tests of general relativity, black holes, gravitational collapse, and physics of the early Universe. He has more than 100 publications in all the above topics and is highly cited. He has also written three monographs/books on particle cosmology, black holes, and general relativity. The Quantum Bambi effect is named after him.
Cosimo Bambi has published more than 100 refereed papers as first or corresponding author on high impact factor journals.[7] He has authored three books and edited one book.
