I did my University studies and my PhD at the University of Trieste. My PhD work focused on the study of strange hadron production in hard scattering processes and in the underlying events in pp collisions collected by the ALICE experiment during the LHC Run 2. This work provided new insight into the origin of strangeness enhancement in small collision systems. During my PhD I also became involved in the development of the software filters for the selections of Run 3 pp collisions of interests for strangeness production studies, and I am currently LF contact person responsible for the validation of filtered pp collisions collected during Run 3. After my PhD, I did a PostDoc at the University of Trieste, during which I spent one year at CERN as a PJAS contributing to the ITS activities. Between 2023 and 2025, I coordinated the Strangeness Physics Analysis Group in the Light Flavour group of ALICE. Since June 2025, I’ve been a Research Fellow at CERN. At present, my work is focused on the study of the longitudinal polarization of multi-strange hadrons in Pb-Pb collisions collected during Run 3, with the goal of increasing our understanding of the quark-gluon plasma properties.

In my free time, I like hiking, reading and visiting new places.
