I was born in Pietrasanta in 1990. I got both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Physics at the University of Pisa.
My master thesis focused on the dynamics of solvents employed as protein stabilizers, by means of neutron scattering and dielectric spectroscopy. After my master’s degree I had the opportunity to carry on the work I started for my master thesis. In my thesis and in the following year I performed experiments in large facilities such as ILL (Grenoble), MLZ (Munich) and ELETTRA (Trieste). For my PhD project I changed my field of research focusing on sensors based on 2D materials. Beside physics I love sports, I do kickboxing regularly and I also enjoy play soccer or volleyball with friends. I also love ski and trekking. For many years I studied classical ballet.

I was born in Cagliari, where I attended schools and where I obtained the Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Cagliari. In 2015 I moved in Pisa where I obtained the Master's degree in Physics. My studies have concerned Fundamental Interactions, focussing in particular on Particle Physics.
For my Master Thesis I concentrated on the Dark Sector searches at electron-positron colliders, studying the production of a light dark gauge boson Z' in association with a muon pair in electron-positron annihilation at the center of mass energy of 10.58 GeV in the Belle II experiment. I perfomed the full MC simulation, I studied a possible selection of signal events and its optimization for the rejection of the background and I performed a very preliminary comparison between MC and the first data taken by the Belle II experiment (April-July 2018). Through my analysis it was possible to estimate the limits to a specific Dark Sector model, which introduces the Z' boson extending the symmetry group of the SM, obtainable in the Belle II experiment.
During my thesis I worked with the Pisa Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) group of the Belle II collaboration and I was involved in the development of the calibration method of the algorithm used by the SVD to estimate the hit time of particles that cross each sensor. The calibration is important since precise timing information are used to reject background events, which are off-time with respect the event time.
At present, I am a member of the SVD group of Belle II and I am still working on the Dark Sector analysis and on the validation of the developed calibration method.

Nato e cresciuto vicino a Milano. Ho studiato Fisica e poi Fisica Teorica all'Università di Pisa, dove mi sono laureato nel 2018 con tesi intitolata "Aspects of non-equilibrium quantum field theory: from Stefan-Boltzmann law to particle number density", relatore M. Mintchev. Dal mese di gennaio 2019 collaborerò col professor G. Iannaccone a ingegneria dell'informazione, dove mi occuperò di studiare il trasporto trasversale di elettroni in eterostrutture bidimensionali. A livello di interessi personali: sono un amante della natura e dello stare all'aperto, mi piacciono la cucina, il teatro, vari sport (ho praticato tennis per anni, nuoto e gioco regolarmente a pallavolo e calcetto, anche se non sono granché)

I was born in Viareggio (Tuscany) in 1993. I obtained my bachelor and my master at University of Pisa, but I studied for a year at LMU in Munich during the master, where I discovered my passion for Theoretical Condensed Matter physics, non-equilibrium problems in particular. In my master thesis, supervised by Prof. M. L. Chiofalo, I worked on the generation of ground state entanglement in ultracold Fermi gases for metrological uses, in particular for atom interferometry. During my PhD I will be supervised by Prof. G. Iannaccone, as I will work mainly on modelling of quantum transport in nanoscale devices, an interesting class of non-equilibrium problems. Besides physics, I have maybe too many interests: I like singing, playing my guitar, motorcycles, fixing broken stuff, playing roleplaying games and board games, cycling and hiking, but strictly one at a time.

I was born in Ancona (Marche), on August 1993. I got the fifth year diploma in pianoforte at Conservatorio Giovanni Battista Pergolesi in Fermo and my scientific high school diploma at "Liceo scientifico Corridoni-Campana" (Osimo) with final mark 100/100 in 2012. Then I moved to Pisa, where I took my Bachelor's (2015) and Master's (2018) Degrees in Physics, both with 110/110 cum laude. During my training as theoretical physicist I developed an interest towards gravitation and in particular towards the attempts to formulate a quantum theory of gravity. Because of this, in my Master Thesis work "Using correlations to experimentally search for Quantum Gravity effects" (supervised by Prof. Giancarlo Cella) I studied a Quantum Gravity phenomenological model and I proposed an interferometric experimental setup designed "ad hoc" to detect Quantum Gravity effects. I am interested in the "Quantum Gravity problem" in all its facets, but in particular in phenomenological implications of Quantum Gravity in cosmology and black hole physics and in their experimental investigation through gravitational waves physics. I am a co-founder of the Comparative Quantum Gravity group, which consists in master and PhD students discussing (and studying) different topics and approaches to Quantum Gravity.After a hard day of work I usually clear my mind working out and playing football or, when I need to relax, playing the piano.

I was born in La Spezia in 1994 and raised in Tuscany. I attended classical High School (Liceo Classico "G. Leopardi") in Aulla (Tuscany). I obtained both my Bachelor (2016) and Master (2018) degree in Physics at the University of Pisa. My Master thesis, under the joint supervision of Prof. F. Califano (University of Pisa) and Prof. Matteo Faganello (Aix-Marseille University), was focused on space plasmas, more specifically on the interaction between Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetospheric flanks. In October 2018 I started my Ph.D. at Aix-Marseille University working on the interaction between magnetic reconnection and turbulence in an astrophysical context via data analysis and simulations. I'm currently in the Plasma Physics group at the University of Pisa under the framework of cooperation between the two universities.
