Ph.D. student, gravitational waves and cosmology focused, actively involved in third-generation gravitational-wave detectors, Sunday hiker if time allows.

Professional

I am currently working under the supervision of Michele Maggiore. The core focus of my research activity is the theoretical study of the new and promising field of gravitational waves. I am mainly focusing on the possibility of using them for cosmological purposes and to test modifications of the theory of General Relativity. Moreover, as a member of the Observational Science Board, I am working on forecasting the capabilities of the Einstein Telescope to observe different kinds of sources and extract information about their origin and structure, also publishing (hopefully!) useful codes. I also recently started collaborating on the exciting Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna project, trying to characterize its scientific output.

Personal

In my free time, I enjoy playing percussion instruments, drums in particular, but I have fun with many others (bongo, conga, djembe,… have you ever heard about hang?)

When the weather allows, I love going to the mountains for a hike (the Alps are amazing, but also the Apennines have beautiful landscapes!)

I also enjoy (nature) photography and a good tennis match.
