About me

I am a Creative Scientist with a PhD in Physics at INAF - Italian National Institute for Astrophysics. As a Creative Scientist, hI develop Science Art exhibits about astrophysical phenomena, like INTO THE (UN)KNOWN presented at the 2020 Science Festival in Genoa and at the 2021 Cinema Biennale in Venice.
I am an Italian NAEC (National Astronomy Education Coordination) for the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education, designing and promoting educational activities to develop scientific citizenship in children and teens, with particular attention to Universal Design for Learning and EDI. In particular, as an Ordinary Member of the GAME Science Research Center, he develops board games for game-based learning activities, like PIXEL - Picture (of) the Universe, the first INAF board game on astronomical observations.

I did my PhD in the Group of Laser and Plasma at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, working on kinetic-scale effects in collisionless accretion disks. During 2018 I was a long-term visitor at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I received my MSc in Plasma Physics in 2014 from the University of Pisa working on the kinetic effects of ICF hydrodynamics simulations.
