Curriculum Vitae

Since 2024, I have been working as an Electronics Technology and Process Engineer at Thales Alenia Space (AQ).

In my early career, I worked as an academic researcher studying the light-matter interaction in quantum materials. I gained a strong background in photonics and electro-optical techniques, data analysis, nanodevice fabrication, and light-matter interactions at THz and infrared frequencies. I studied and applied novel techniques for the manipulation of THz waves in a time-domain setup and the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of advanced materials, using both laboratory and problem-solving techniques to advance the modern understanding of low-frequency waves and their interaction with matter. I studied topological crystals, like Weyl semimetals and topological insulators, vdW magnetic insulators, high-temperature superconductors, and plasmonic, polaronic, and disordered materials. 

In 2023 I was awarded an ICAM Sponsored QuantEmX Scientist Exchange Award for a research visit at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Rutgers University, New Brunswick (NJ), for a project on the synthesis and characterization of (Te,Se) films over Bi2Te3, expected to support a proximity induced topological superconductivity phase.

In 2021 I was awarded a DAAD scholarship to work on a project regarding the creation of superconductors-based Van der Waals heterostructures, acquiring the material science know-how to exfoliate, stack and measure 2D crystals.

I participated as an invited speaker to 10+ international conferences and I authored 20+ research papers published in international peer-reviewed journals.
