I got my PhD in theoretical physics in 2016 at the University of Bologna, Italy. After that I've had various postdoctoral positions: one year in Oxford (2016-2017), two years at ICTP in Trieste (2017-2019), one year at DESY in Hamburg (2020). I currently hold a four-year Stephen Hawking fellowship (funded by UKRI and EPSRC) to work at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics in Cambridge.
