Alicia M Sintes Menorca, Spain (1969) Theoretical physics. Her research focuses on gravitational wave astronomy She began her research career at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), where she graduated in 1992 and obtained her doctorate in 1996. She continued as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany. She is the principal investigator of the Gravitational Physics group of the UIB, member of LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the LISA Consortium and of the Einstein Telescope science Team. She has been scientific advisor to the European Space Agency. Sintes was named "favourited daughter" of Sant Lluís in 2018 and has received numerous awards, including Ramon Llull from the Government of the Balearic Islands, Synchronized from the SINC Agency and member of the Spanish Selection of Science of QUO, among others.
