BIOGRAPHY

I defended my PhD thesis in June 2017 at the Università della Calabria (Cosenza, Italy), with title “High-energy resummation in semi-hard processes at the LHC”. Then, I got two postdoctoral scholarships from the Italian Foundation “Angelo della Riccia” at the Instituto de Física Teórica UAM/CSIC in Madrid (Spain), where I stayed from June 2017 to September 2018. In autumn of 2018 I started at the Università degli Studi di Pavia (Italy) my second postdoctoral experience, receiving support from the 3DGLUE MIUR FARE grant (No. R16XKPHL3N), spin-off of the 3DSPIN ERC program (No. 647981). Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the ECT*.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

1. Hadronic structure and 3D proton tomography: transverse-momentum-dependent distributions
2. QCD at high energies: semi-hard reactions and unintegrated gluon densities
3. QCD and resummations: unified description of Higgs-boson, Drell-Yan and Quarkonia emissions
