Aurora Capobianco is a PhD student at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität, Jena, Germany, in the Theoretical Physics Department (TPI). Her primary research interests are turbulence, compact objects and dust evolution in the ISM. As member of the MERLIN project, her current research focuses on numerical simulations of magnetic field dynamics in neutron stars, particularly on equilibrium configurations and the impact of turbulence, including their effects on observables.

She has recently joined the CoRe collaboration, a synergy of several institutions dedicated to performing 3+1 numerical relativity simulations of compact binaries spacetimes. She is also closely collaborating with a group based in Stockholm (Sweden), Aalto (Finland) and Ghent (Belgium) working on MHD simulations of Supernova-induced processing of cosmic dust. She obtained her Master's degree from the University of Bath, UK, after completing her research project at the Nordic Institute of Theoretical Physics, Stockholm, Sweden.
