I am a PhD student at the University of Coimbra, in co-direction with the LPC Caen, under the supervision of Helena Pais and Francesca Gulminelli. I obtained the Bachelor Degree in Physics and the Master Degree in Physics at the University of Bologna, both with the maximum grade. During my studies I obtained a very good knowledge of all the main aspects of theoretical physics, together with IT skills like Fortran, C, C++, Python, ROOT, R and SQL coding. I've worked for two years as a Math and Physics tutor for the Pharmacy and Biotechnology school of the University of Bologna. After that I did a 8 months internship at ALTEN Italia as a Software developer and tester. My mother tongue is Italian but I am fluent in English.
