Mingarelli is an assistant professor of physics at Yale University and a guest researcher at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Astrophysics. She is a gravitational-wave astrophysicist who leads efforts to detect supermassive black hole binaries using pulsar timing arrays. Mingarelli is a key member of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) collaboration and the International Pulsar Timing Array. Her research focuses on characterizing the nanohertz gravitational wave background and identifying the “fingerprints” of individual binary systems. Recognized for her leadership in the field, she is the recipient of the American Astronomical Society’s 2023 HEAD Early Career Prize and the 2023 Marie Curie Alumni Association Career Award.
