I am a PhD student at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa (Italy), supervised by Vittorio Giovannetti and co-supervised by Ludovico Lami. Throughout my PhD, I have undertaken extended research visits at:
California Institute of Technology (USA), hosted by Hsin-Yuan Huang (Robert);
University of Amsterdam and QuSoft (Netherlands), hosted by Ludovico Lami;
Freie Universität Berlin (Germany), hosted by Jens Eisert.
My research focuses on Quantum Information, with a particular expertise in Continuous-Variable Systems 🔅, Quantum Learning Theory 🤖, and Quantum Shannon Theory 🧩. I am passionate about quantum information because I love to apply elegant mathematics (e.g. matrix analysis, probability theory, group theory, ..) and puzzling numerical/programming tools to solve practically motivated technological problems.

Education:
Bachelor in Physics at the University of Pisa (maximum grade: 110/110 cum laude) [Grades of all my Bachelor exams here]
Master in Physics at the University of Pisa (maximum grade: 110/110 cum laude) [Grades of all my Master exams here]
"Special" Master in Physics at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa (maximum grade: 110/110 cum laude). [Grades of all my SNS exams here]
I was admitted at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa (SNS), possibly the top elite university in Italy. SNS grants full scholarships only to a select few students who pass a highly competitive admission process and maintain exceptional academic performance both at the University of Pisa and in additional SNS exams. To gain admission, I succeeded in highly competitive written and oral exams focused on physics, mathematics, and problem-solving skills. You can find more information here.
