Biography
Roberto Soria investigate X-ray properties of galaxies, with particular focus on black holes in binary systems. I study: the luminosity, time-variability and spectral properties of accreting black holes; the interplay between matter inflows and fast outflows; the energy transferred from the outflows to the interstellar medium.
