Euclid Consortium
Starting from October 2026, I serve as Deputy Lead for the Science Working Group (SWG) "Clusters of Galaxies" of the Euclid Consortium
I have been selected as a member of the Euclid Consortium Editorial Board
Contributions to the SKAO Science Book
I co-led two chapters of the SKAO science book Advancing Astrophysics with the SKA II (AASKAII), published in 2026 (Link here). The book explores the transformative scientific advances that will be enabled by the SKA Observatory.
SKAO and Gamma-Ray Synergies. This chapter explores key science cases for coordinated radio and gamma-ray observations of Galactic and extragalactic sources, highlighting the potential synergies between the SKA Observatory and forthcoming gamma-ray facilities, including the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO).

Tracing the Cosmic Web across Cosmic Time through SKA Observations of Radio Galaxies. This chapter explores how SKA observations of radio galaxies, magnetic fields, and star-forming galaxies can be used to trace the cosmic web from the local Universe to high-redshift protoclusters.

Astrophysics and Space Science in Marche 3 : Big Bang, Big Stars, Big Computers
We organized the conference "Astrophysics and Space Science in Marche 3 : Big Bang, Big Stars, Big Computers", in Jesi (Italy), from 31 August to 4 September 2026.
I have been co-chair of both SOC and LOC. Link here.
This has been the third international conference of the series "Astrophysics and Space Science in Marche", following our first two events held in 2024 and 2025.
Public Outreach Conference on the Distant Universe and Dark Energy
On Thursday, 3 September 2026, I gave a public lecture in Jesi entitled:
“From the Distant Universe to Dark Energy: Hubble’s Legacy and New Frontiers with Euclid”
The lecture was held in Italian and was open to everyone. It was a great opportunity to discuss how observations of the distant Universe have revolutionised our understanding of the cosmos, from Hubble’s pioneering discoveries to the new frontiers being opened by the Euclid mission.
The event was part of the international conference “Astrophysics and Space Science in Marche III: Big Bang, Big Stars, Big Computers”, held in Jesi from 31 August to 4 September 2026.
