Mar 20, 2025 Today I’m introducing particle physics and the Standard Model to a group of high school students from the cities Orvieto and Perugia, within the International Masterclass initiative link. It’s a great opportunity to share my passion for physics and inspire the next generation of scientists. I’m looking forward to engaging discussions and hopefully sparking some interest in the field!
Mar 17, 2025 I’m very excited to share that today I start with a new faculty position of non-tenured Assistant Professor (Fixed-time researcher, RTDa) at the University of Perugia, in the Department of Physics and Geology. I will be (mainly) working with the CMS collaboration, focusing on the development of (quantum) machine learning algorithms for the analysis of data from the LHC, particularly targeting boosted topologies. The Department of Physics and Geology at the University of Perugia is a vibrant and dynamic research environment, with a strong focus on experimental and theoretical physics. The department has a long-standing tradition of excellence in research and teaching (achieving the seal of excellence of the Italian Ministry of University and Research) and I am thrilled to be part of this community.
Feb 11, 2025 Today I’m speaking at The Low Energy Frontier of Particle Physics workshop in Frascati about the underground tests of Pauli Exclusion Principle and quantum Gravity – looking forward!
Dec 4, 2024 Today I’m speaking at the DISCRETE 2024 conference in Ljubljana 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮 about the underground tests of Pauli Exclusion Principle – looking forward!
Oct 14, 2024 Tomorrow at 16h00 I will be speaking at the event about the Nobel Prize for Physics 2024: “Alla scoperta del premio Nobel per la Fisica 2024” with Catalina Curceanu link YouTube ita.
Sep 28, 2024 This eventing I will be at the European Researchers Night to explain to the public the activities of INFN Frascati National Labs and the accelerator complex! Looking forward link ita.
Jul 1, 2024 🇵🇱 🇵🇱 🇵🇱 Arrived to Kraków, Poland, for the 5th Jagiellonian Symposium on Advances in Particles physics and Medicine. I will give a talk on Kaonic Atoms with the SIDDHARTA-2 experiment. The program is very interesting, with a lot of talks on the latest results in particle physics and medical applications. I am looking forward to it! I was asked and am honored to serve as char in the “Artificial Intelligence for Medicine” on Friday!
Jun 5, 2024 Exciting News! My first first-author paper is out on MDPI’s Condensed Matter, about an advanced technique feauturing Differentiable Programming, a paradigm in AI, which can increase the performance of radiation detectors. Check it out!
Apr 25, 2024 Excited to present my work on differentiable programming and differentiable optimization at ECT* Trento! Many thanks the organizers of “Bridging Scales, at the crossroads among renormalisation group, multi-scale modelling, and deep learning” for the kind invitation and interesting discussions!
Nov 24, 2023 Just wrapped up our ALPACA workshop at ECT*, Trento, focusing on modern algorithms in machine learning and data analysis, from medical physics to research with accelerators and in underground laboratories. A big thank to our sponsors, the European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*-FBK) and the Horizon EU programme EURO-LABS. I want also to thank my co-organizers, Fabrizio Grosa, Raffaele Del Grande and Magdalena Skurzok and all the speakers, especially the hands-on organizers. It’s been a rich week filled with new and exciting ideas across various domains. Check out the event details here.
Oct 31, 2023 Happy to share that my article on Machine Learning and Differentiable Programming applied to the VIP-2 data has been officially accepted to Measurement Science and Technology! DOI: 10.1088/1361-6501/ad080a
