Professional experiences

• 03/2020–today: Four-year joint PhD position (full-time)
  Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia "Augusto Righi" (DIFA), Alma Mater Studiorum ‐ Università di Bologna (Bologna, Italy)
  Centre for Cosmology, Particle Physics and Phenomenology (CP3), Université Catholique de Louvain, (Louvain‐la‐Neuve, Belgium)
  I am attending a joint PhD program: the fundings consist of a fellowship by Université Catholique de Louvain (from 03/2020 to 10/2020) and by Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna (from 11/2020). My research focuses on the theory and phenomenology of dark sectors: I am studying dark matter, neutrinos, and astroparticle physics. I am also an active developer of the Python tool MadDM and a maintainer of the tool DarkNews. I am travelling and spending time in both universities regularly.
