Topology, Chirality and Interactions in Quantum Simulators
The research project focuses on the opportunities offered by atomic quantum simulation platforms to investigate strongly-interacting effects and correlations that are relevant to topological or chiral systems
Quantum signals from the early Universe
A possible quantum signature of the early Universe, either through the quantum decoherence effect or by considering the dynamical collapse model of primordial cosmological perturbations, could lead to a definition of the quantum nature of the inflationary mechanism, the standard scenario for explaining all the structures we observe in the Universe today. In this project, I intend to study possible signals that could unequivocally reveal the quantum nature of primordial fluctuations resulting from inflation, which may be imprinted in some present-day observables.
Light and Feebly-Interacting Relics from the Big Bang
I work in high-energy particle physics phenomenology and astroparticle physics, focusing on the origin and nature of dark matter. My current research centers on feebly interacting dark sectors, the precise calculation of interaction rates in the early universe, and the emergence and behavior of scalar fields subject to boundaries in field space.

Single-photon sources with tunable
optical nanocavities (ROOTS)
This project explores the development of practical, room-temperature single-photon sources by coupling erbium-based quantum emitters—naturally compatible with telecom wavelengths—to dynamically reconfigurable optical nanocavities. By advancing control over emission processes and enabling precision single-photon spectroscopy, the research aims to deliver scalable building blocks for future quantum photonic technologies spanning secure communication, distributed quantum networks, sensing, and integrated computing platforms
Studying electric dipole moments in highly
nuclei using the combined set-up AGATA-PRISMA spectrometer
My research activity is focused on the study of various aspects of nuclear structure in nuclei far from stability, such as subshell closure, triaxial deformation, shape transition, and shape coexistence, by employing gamma-ray spectroscopy and lifetime measurements of nuclear excited states.
Recently I have been working on the development of a new technique for measuring lifetimes of the order of picoseconds in heavy neutron-rich nuclei and also on stabilizing an analysis procedure to extract information from datasets collected with this technique.
An important part of my research work also involves the study of the shape coexistence and triaxial deformation for nuclei in the vicinity of the predicted N=40 island of inversion, employing AGATA, the latest generation of HPGe gamma-ray tracking array.
