I am a staff researcher at the Computational Photonics Laboratory at the Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF) in Rome, where I investigate complex photonic materials. My research interests lie in understanding how structural disorder influences nonlinear coherent phenomena. As principal investigator of an EU-PNRR project, I am currently exploring the potential of these materials as hardware platforms for machine learning and neuromorphic optical computing.

I hold a PhD from the European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy (LENS) at the University of Florence and have held postdoctoral positions at the École Normale Supérieure (Paris) and ETH Zurich, including a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship and lectureship. I received my degree in Physics from the University of Naples “Federico II”.
