CP violation in the decays of B mesons. Measurement of CKM matrix parameters: Vcb, Vub, Δmd. Semileptonic decays of B mesons. Test of lepton universality in b→cℓν transitions. Search for lepton flavour violation in τ lepton decays. Development of flavour identification algorithms for B mesons. Detectors for high-energy physics.

Since 2016 I am Full Professor of Experimental Physics of Fundamental Interactions at the University of Milan Bicocca. 

Previously I was Extraordinary Professor and Associate Professor at the University of Milano Bicocca. 

In the period 1990-2000 I have been Researcher at the University of Milan where I obtained a Ph.D in Physics in 1990.

I worked in electroweak and flavour physics for the DELPHI experiment at the LEP accelerator (Cern). 

Since 2000 I have been in the LHCb experiment, for which I lead the group at Bicocca. 

At the University of Milano-Bicocca, I am lecturer in charge of the "Laboratory I" course of the physics bachelor's degree and of the "Particles III" course of the physics master's degree and I am the coordinator of the PhD programme in Physics and Astronomy.
