Research

I have worked in several different fields of theoretical physics from extra-dimensional theories to supersymmetry and modifications of gravity. My main interest at the moment is phenomenology but I keep interests in more formal subjects such us strongly coupled dynamics. During the years of the Higgs discovery I have been mostly working on extensions of the Standard Model that can be tested at the LHC, such us Composite Higgs models, the idea that the Higgs boson could be a bound state of new strong dynamics. I am currently mostly working on cosmology, dark matter theories and gravitational waves.

Here you can find my papers and here you can download my CV.

Research Interests:

• Physics Beyond the Standard Model

• Strong Dynamics

• Supersymmetry and string theory

• Dark Matter

• Cosmology

• Gravitational Waves

Phenomenology Group:

I am member of the phenomenology group in the theory division of the Physics Department at the Florence University. 

Other members of the group include: Stefania De Curtis, Andrea Tesi, Diego Redigolo, Giuliano Panico, Luigi Delle Rose, Raghuveer Garani and Chen Zhang. Past members are Oleg Antipin, Diego Becciolini, Key Yaghyu and Juri Smirnov.
