I did my PhD at the University of Torino, focusing my research on the production of charm mesons with and without strange-quark content from proton-proton to heavy-ion collisions, to investigate the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the interaction between heavy quarks and the QGP constituents. During that period I also contributed to the construction of the new inner tracker of ALICE, the ITS2, installed during the long shutdown 2.
After one year of postdoc in Torino, I joined CERN as a research fellow in 2021, transitioning to a staff member in 2023. I then deepen my studies on heavy-quark production, extending previous measurements in the beauty and baryon sectors, and exploring possible polarisation of charm vector mesons and the residual strong interaction between charm and light hadrons.

Over the years I have undertaken various responsibilities within the ALICE Collaboration, such as convenor of the physics working group on heavy-flavour hadrons, PWG-HF, and coordinator of the working package on physics performance studies and simulations for the next upgrade of the inner tracker, consisting of an innovative technlogy based on wide-area, ultra-thin bent silicon sensors, the ITS3.

In my free time, I enjoy painting fantasy miniatures, and I like skiing in winter and cooking.
