Short Bio
After obtaining the B.Sc. degree (“Laurea Triennale") in Physics in 2009 and M.Sc. degree (“Laurea Magistrale”) in Astrophysics in 2012, both from the University of Pisa, I conducted my doctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching bei München and obtained my Ph.D. degree (“Dr. rer. nat.”) in 2015 from the University of Ulm.
I have been a Postdoctoral Research Associate and an Associate Research Scholar in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University (2017-2021), following a postdoctoral position in the Department of Physics at the University of Pisa (2016-2017) and a short "transitional" postdoc at IPP in Garching (Aug 2015 - Jan 2016).
Since October 2021, I have been recruited as permanent research staff at CNRS, joining the Laboratoire J.-L. Lagrange within the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur in Nice.
P.I. of the ANR grant "MiCRO" (2023-2027) funded by the French National Research Agency.
Research Interests
