I got my degree in Physics from Università degli Studi di Milano. I received a PhD in Physics, Astrophysics and Applyied Physics at Università degli Studi di Milano.

During my postdoc I joined the Condensed Matter Theory group and the Microelectronic group at the Physics Department of Università degli Studi di Milano and the Molecular Science and Technology Institute of the CNR in Milan. In September 2017, I have joined the group of Prof. Michele Ceotto at Università di Milano.

Main research interests

  • Electronic exciations in solidis and finite sistems (TDDFT and GW Bethe-Salpeter).
  • Ab-initio Molecular Dynamics.
  • Simulation of vibrational and optical spectroscopies.
