I am a student of Applied Mathematics, coming from a physics backgrund, heading towards network science. I believe that rational thinking, mathematical insight and hard work are necessary conditions for having an impact in shaping the future.

I have taken part to a six-months research experience at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen.
I have been working in the Intelligent Control Systems group on the development of a robust model for multi-agent system controls. The ultimate aim of the project was to create an exensible model that can perform reliably for different values of the perturbances of the system, and even in the case some input parameters differ from thier original values in the training phase.

The International Association of Physics Students (IAPS) is the largest network of physics students and student associations worldwide.
The journal of IAPS - colloquially called jIAPS - provides science and technology divulagation as well as information on the association to all its members. The work of the editorial team culminates in August, with the publication of the yearly paper issue, which is then distributed at the International Conference of Physics Students.
As part of the editorial team, I participated in the reception, evaluation, and selection of the articles. I was also designated responsible for the social media channels of the journal.

Stemming from the work of my master thesis in Theoretical Physics, the research I am conducting at the Italian Institute of Technology is focused on the simulation of highly complex systems with tools derived from both Statistichal Mechanics and Optics.
The main idea behind this project is to use an optical simulation to reduce the scaling order of the problem by one, thus allowing a more efficent method and capable of studying systems which are unapproachable by traditional computer-based simulations.

Summer internship on GPU-based simulations.
The project relied on the CUDA-based RUMD framework, entirely developed by the Department of Science and Environment at RUK.
The project included the study of a threshold algorithm for Monte Carlo simulation, the creation of the relative intergating kernel and the performance comparision with respect to both other Monte Carlo algorithms and Molecular Dynamics simulations.

I have always been fascinated by public transports, and trains in particular have been my first and foremost interest. Afterward, I decided to apply for a different area during college, and I have little formal training on the topic. However, such interest is rapidly striking back and I have since decided to use the tools I have acquired from my graduate course in Physics and Mathematics to tackle real-world problems in traffic management and network optimization.
Despite my scientific attitude, I often found myself captivated by the beauty of some artistic productions: photography and classical music above all. I am an amateur photographer myself, and deeply passionate about opera, with the Italian composer Giacomo Puccini being the author of most of my favourite pieces.
I used to swim during my earlier years and I took part in many swimming competitions, up to national level. I have since abandoned regular training, but I am happy to hit the swimming pool whenever I can.
