I completed my PhD in Physics at the University of Torino, investigating the production of (anti-)nuclei at the LHC using the ALICE experiment and developing the tracking code currently used to reconstruct data from the ALICE silicon pixel tracker (ITS). In 2019, I joined CERN as a Research Fellow, where my work has centered on high-precision measurements of hypernuclei properties, the antinuclei annihilation cross section, and the connection of these findings to dark matter searches in space. I am continuing these studies as a CERN Staff member while also exploring event-by-event fluctuation measurements and other rare observables to better characterize the Quark-Gluon Plasma and broaden our understanding of hadronization.

I have taken on multiple key responsibilities within the ALICE Collaboration. After serving as deputy Trigger Coordinator, I currently lead the ALICE trigger team, which determines the ALICE proton–proton physics programme and oversees data processing, including the selection and ultimate retention of interesting collision events. I have also convened the Nuclei and Exotica Physics Analysis Group, coordinated the offline software efforts for the Light Flavours Working Group, acted as an on-call expert for the Silicon Drift Detector, and served as Run Manager.

Beyond these roles, I have participated in cross-collaboration activities such as co-organizing workshops and conferences, convening heavy-ion sessions, and serving as a reviewer for high-impact journals and grant panels. Over the years, I have supervised and mentored numerous students at various academic levels, contributing significantly to the next generation of researchers in our field.

Through these experiences, I continue to help shape ALICE’s physics programme, with a special focus on precision analyses that deepen our understanding of QCD and the fundamental properties of strongly interacting matter.
