Fields or areas of research Theoretical astroparticle physics

I am a theoretical astroparticle physicist. My research activity focuses on searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, especially on neutrino and dark matter phenomenology.

I was born and raised in Savona, Italy. I got my Physics Bachelor and Master degrees from the University of Torino (Italy), completed with full marks in 2008 and 2010, respectively. I first moved to Spain in 2010, when I joined the Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC) in Valencia as an Early Stage Researcher (ESR), within the European Marie Curie "UNILHC" network. I got my PhD from the University of Valencia in co-tutorship with the University of Torino in December 2013, awarded with the highest distinction. Right afterwards, I was granted with a senior ESR contract by CNRS within the European Marie Curie "INVISIBLES" network. I spent the corresponding two years (2013-2015, equivalent to a postdoctoral appointment) at the Laboratoire de Physique de Clermont-Ferrand, France. Then I spent one year as a postdoc at the Instituto de Física Teórica UAM/CSIC in Madrid.

In 2017 I joined the Astroparticle and High Energy Physics group at IFIC UV/CSIC back in Valencia as a postdoctoral researcher, first with a contract from the Severo Ochoa programme, then as a Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación fellow and since July 2020 with a SEJI grant ("Subvenciones a la excelencia científica de juniors investigadores"), funded by the Generalitat Valenciana.

My scientific career is further strengthened by several long-term stays at leading research centres such as Harvard (USA, 2015), Fermilab (USA, 2018 and 2019), Universidad Técnica Federico Santamaría (Chile, 2017 and 2018).
