Present Position and Ph.D Advisor

• 2024-Present: Postdoc in applied mathematics, Chalmers University of  Technology, Göteborg, Sweden.
  I'm a postdoc in the applied mathematics unit, under the guidance of Prof. Annika Lang. We work on SPDE on manifolds but on a theoretical and computational level, with the goal of finding application to real life problems such as cell evolution and ice crystal formation.
  Postdoc Advisor: Prof. Annika Lang

Education

Work Activities

1. Teaching Assistant - Advance Statistics (Talk) - Pisa University, Pisa, 2019.
   Multivariate statistics, classification and clustering, time series analysis. From a theoretical point of view and through the implementation via a statistical software.

2. SPASS - Seminars in Probability, Stochastic Analysis and Statistics (Talk) - Pisa University, Pisa, 2022.
   Turbulence Enhancement in Kinetic Coagulation Equations.
   Abstract: A Smoluchowski type model of coagulation with velocity dependence in a turbulent fluid is studied. Existence, uniqueness and regularity is proven  and coagulation enhancement is obtained by numerical simulations. Based on joint works with Franco Flandoli and Ruojun Huang.

3. Cloud physics on the Zugspitze (Talk) - Schneefernerhaus/Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Zugspitze, 2023.

Turbulence enhancement in coagulation. 

Abstract: Smoluchowski model is introduced from a stochastic particle system. A gas-kinetic theory on coagulation is recovered. Insight on mass displacement due to turbulence is shown numerically. Based on joint works with Franco Flandoli and Ruojun Huang.

4. Summer School 100 years of cascades  (Talk) - Université Cote D'Azur, Nice-Porquerolles, 2023.

Closed Analytic formula for the turbulent rate of collision. 

Abstract: Smoluchowski model is introduced from a stochastic particle system. A one-point and two-point motion statistics are studied to recover a gas-kinetic theory on coagulation. Low inertial regime is obtained trhough correction quantity due to the displacement of particles in turbulent flow. 

5. Summer School 100 years of cascades (Project &Talk) - Université Cote D'Azur, Nice-Porquerolles, 2023.

On the refined self-similarity hypothesis.

Abstract: On the refined self-similarity hypothesis, Lagrangian statistics and Eulerian statistics of the dissipation rate are studied for DNS of forced 3dNS equations.

6. Probability Lecture Series (6 lectures) - Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, 2023.

Particle Aggregation Under Turbulent Flows 

Abstract: Smoluchowski model is introduced from a stochastic particle system. A gas-kinetic theory on coagulation is recovered. Insight on mass displacement due to turbulence is shown numerically. Based on joint works with Franco Flandoli and Ruojun Huang.

7. TuBA Workshop (Organizer) - Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, 31/01/2024+3/02/2024.

The objective of the Turbulence on the Banks of the Arno (TuBA) workshop is to provide a platform for early-stage researchers (ideally Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows) working in the field of turbulence to come together, exchange ideas, and present their own research. 

Other Activities

• I'm a go enthusiast; I competed in the international tournament “European Go Congress” twice and I helped organizing one in Pisa in 2018.

• Member of "Secondi Figli", an Italian LARP Association; creating LARP events, TabletopRPG and  Educational role playing events. Several collaboration with Secondary Schools and Pisa University. I also served as president, treasurer and secretary.
