research
The Enrico Fermi Research Center - CREF promotes original and high-impact lines of research, based on physical methods, but with a strong interdisciplinary character and in relation to the main problems of the modern knowledge society.

third mission
The CREF was born with a dual soul: a research centre and a historical museum. Its aim is to preserve and disseminate the memory of Enrico Fermi and to promote the dissemination and communication of scientific culture.

- Progetto Extreme Energy Events (EEE)
As of July 2025, I am a postdoctoral research fellow for the Extreme Energy Events – Science in Schools (EEE) Project. My work involves the commissioning, monitoring, and data analysis of the EEE Project’s telescopes, which are based on Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) or plastic scintillators coupled with Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs).
I earned my Ph.D. in Physics in 2018 from the University of Bologna with a thesis titled, Experimental study of the time resolution for particle detectors based on MRPC, SiPM and UFSD technologies. My research activities focus on the development and study of innovative particle detectors, primarily for particle physics but with applications in other fields as well.
I am currently participating in or have participated in several international collaborations (ALICE, DarkSide, EEE), working with diverse research groups on both hardware and data analysis aspects.
