I got my Bachelor and Master degrees in Physics at Università di Torino. I did my PhD in Physics at the Bose-Einstein Condensation center and Università di Trento.

I received a post-doctoral fellowship at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, in the group of V. Savona, and at Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Milano, in the group of D.E. Galli. In August 2017, I have joined the group of Prof. Michele Ceotto at Università di Milano.

Main research interests

Optimization of reference wavefunctions for semiclassical vibrational spectra.
Quantum Monte Carlo methods.
Study of static and dynamical properties of ultracold bosonic and fermionic atomic mixtures.
Dynamical properties of one-dimensional quantum gases and liquids.
Stochastic analytic continuation methods for the inverse Laplace transform.
