I am currently a PhD student in the Mathematical Physics Group at the University of Burgos, Spain. My research is supported by an FPI scholarship for researcher training, funded by the State Research Agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación) of the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities, and co-funded by the European Union. My thesis defense is planned for the beginning of 2026.
Current Research. My main research area is Quantum Gravity, where I explore both top-down and bottom-up approaches, focusing on cosmology, gravitational theories, noncommutative geometry, and the quantum symmetries of noncommutative spacetimes. Recent publications include:
Deterministic Evolution of Gauge Fields Through a Singularity (with F. Mercati, UBU, Spain): Published in Phys.Rev.D, this work studies classical determinism near the Big Bang singularity in a Bianchi I universe under specific ansatze. See arXiv.
Noncommutative Lightcones from Quantum SO(2,1) Conformal Groups (with Á. Ballesteros and F. Mercati, UBU, Spain): Published in Class.Quant.Grav., this paper introduces a noncommutative structure on the lightcone of a 2+1 spacetime and a novel method for constructing more noncommutative structures on homogeneous spaces from quantum groups. See arXiv.
Academic background. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Naples (Italy), graduating summa cum laude. During my Bachelor's studies, I received a scholarship in 2015 to visit the University of Mississippi and the LIGO Livingston Observatory (US). There, I developed Python tools for interferometric data analysis, which contributed to my co-authorship of a companion paper on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the first gravitational wave.
