I'm non-tenured assistant professor (RTDa) at University of Trento in the Department group in Mathematical Physics (head of the group: Prof. Valter Moretti). I was awarded a Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics from the Department of Phyics at University of Genova in 2022. I was postdoctoral researcher at University of Trento in 2023 and at University of Pavia in 2024. Further details can be found in Career.
I'm the Principal Investigator of the MUR Young Researcher 2024 research project: “The Semiclassical Paradigm Applied In Cosmology And Black Hole Evaporation” (SPACE) founded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR), within the scope of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan NRRP - Mission 4 “Education and Research” - Component 2 “From Research to Business”.
My research activity is also supported by TIFPA-INFN as member of the local research group on Mathematical Methods for Physics within the research network BELL - Fundamental Problems in Quantum Physics.
International memberships:
My research interests cover a variety of mathematical topics including axiomatic formulation of free and interacting local and covariant quantum field theories, operator algebras (C* algebras, Von Neumann algebras, Superalgebras), global and microlocal analysis, differential geometry, distribution theory, Cauchy problems for non-linear and non-local hyperbolic PDEs in globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds.
My main research topics are
Algebraic Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetimes
Semiclassical Gravity in Cosmology and Black Hole Physics
Operator Algebra and its connection to Quantum Information Theory
