Early life and education
editCeresole was born in Turin and studied at the University of Turin.[1] Her thesis considered Kaluza–Klein theory and supergravity, which resulted in published work with Pietro Fré and Hermann Nicolai.[2] She earned her PhD at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1989, working with Peter van Nieuwenhuizen.[1] Here she was a Fulbright Program Fellow.[1]
Research
editCeresole joined California Institute of Technology in 1989, working as a postdoctoral fellow.[1] She was appointed as a research fellow at the University of Turin in 1992.[1] In 1998 she joined CERN as a visiting scientist. She was made research professor at the Polytechnic University of Turin in 2003.[1] In 2004 she described a superpotential that supported a class of stable extremal black holes.[3] She works on special Kähler manifold geometry and black hole solutions in supergravity.[4][5]
She was a team member of the European Research Council Advanced Investigator Grant, Supersymmetry, Quantum Gravity and Gauge Fields.[6] She was a working group leader for the European Cooperation in Science and Technology String Theory Universe COST action.[7][8]
In 2015 she was appointed as the coordinator of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare Theory Group in Torino.[9] Since 2017 she is part of the Management Committee of the Arnold Regge Centre for Algebra, Geometry and Theoretical Physics, a collaboration between the University of Turin and University of Eastern Piedmont.[10] She has been Scientific Advisor for several international string theory conferences.[11][12] She has contributed to many important textbooks on geometry and supergravity.[2][4][13][14]
