I am an experimental physicist interested in understanding the universe through its most fundamental constituents and interactions.

My fascination with physics began in high school, when I discovered that the behaviour of the universe could be described through particles and a small set of fundamental interactions. Since then, I have pursued this interest through my studies and research, with the goal of investigating these phenomena firsthand.

I believe that one of the most valuable ways to contribute to experimental physics is to explore alternatives to state-of-the-art instruments and reconstruction techniques. For this reason, my interests lie at the intersection of:

• 🔬 Experimental high-energy physics
• 🧲 Particle-detector research and development
• 🤖 Machine learning for physics
• 🌐 Future collider experiments

I am particularly interested in the Future Circular Collider, as future experiments will require a new generation of detectors and reconstruction algorithms capable of meeting unprecedented precision and performance requirements.

I am a PhD candidate at CERN and the University of Padua, working within the EP-FCC group on tracking reconstruction for the FCC-ee.

My research focuses on the use of drift chambers for high-precision charged-particle reconstruction. The reconstruction pipeline includes:

Track fitting

Track vertexing

My work aims to develop and evaluate reconstruction strategies suitable for the demanding physics programme of a future electron–positron collider.

I am also a member of RD_FCC Italy, which conducts research and development on detector technologies for FCC-ee.

CERN & University of Padua

Research on tracking and vertex reconstruction for FCC-ee, with a particular focus on drift-chamber-based detector concepts.

University of Padua

Thesis on hadron identification with highly granular calorimeters, exploring advanced data-analysis methods for particle identification.

University of Pavia

Thesis on the performance of a dual-readout calorimeter for future circular colliders.

Alongside my research, I am an active CERN guide.

I enjoy introducing visitors to CERN, explaining its experiments, and sharing how fundamental research helps us investigate the laws of nature. Science communication and public engagement are important to me, and I see outreach as an essential part of being a researcher.

I played basketball as a child and I am currently a member of the CERN Basketball Club.

During my master's studies, I also played table tennis.

I enjoy hiking, exploring new landscapes, and spending time outdoors.

I have contributed to the Italian-language Wikipedia since 2018 under the username JustDrew and became an autopatrolled user in 2020.

My contributions include topics related to physics and Lombardy, as well as general maintenance and improvements to encyclopedia articles.
