Welcome!

I am an HFSP postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems and Center for Systems Biology Dresden (Germany) working on the interaction between the cytoskeleton and liquid condensates. Previously, I worked as a fellow at the Martin A. Fischer School of Physics at Brandeis University (United States).

I completed my PhD in Physics in 2019 at the Leiden University Institute of Physics (LION) and the Lorentz Institute for Theoretical Physics (The Netherlands). During my PhD, I worked on soft matter physics, the physics of materials that are easily deformable. My PhD was focused on the implications of geometry on phase separation in lipid membranes.

I obtained my bachelor and master degrees in Physics at the University of Padua (Italy) in 2015. I performed my master research project with the Erasmus Fellowship at Leiden University (The Netherlands) under the supervision of Thomas Schmidt, working on light induced non-equilibrium fluctuations in vesicles.
