Legenda
I was born in 1986 in Italy. I have got bachelor and master degrees in physics from the University of Florence. After my undergraduate studies I went to Pisa, where in 2014 I obtained the PhD in theoretical physics at the Scuola Normale Superiore. In the fall of 2014 I went to the States and started a postdoc position at the University of Chicago. Since September 2017 I am based in Florence, where I work as a researcher at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN).

Research Interests
I am interested in aspects of theoretical particle physics that are testable at current and future experiments. My research has a main focus on phenomenology of new physics at LHC energies in weakly and strongly coupled extensions of the Standard Model. In this context I have studied Higgs and electro-weak precision physics, as well as flavour and collider signatures. Recently I became also interested in early universe phenomenology, with a focus on extremely light and weakly coupled particles such as the axions, cosmological phase transitions and Dark Matter phenomenology, especially in the context of strongly coupled dark sectors.
