I completed the master degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics in 2018 and the Bachelor degree in Physics in 2016 at Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza. I'm currently a PhD student in theoretical Physics at Instituto Superior Técnico, and I am part of the Center for Astrophysics and Gravitation (CENTRA). I work in the field of gravitational physics with a specific focus on the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center. I published 8 peer-reviewed papers in total, 2 of which as first author and 3 as collaboration papers (GRAVITY). I also contributed to the review on fundamental physics opportunities with the new generation Event Horizon Telescope. I gave 10 talks in international conferences, of which 2 invited and I presented 2 posters in international events. I was also part of the Local Organizing Committee of 3 conferences held in Lisbon and Porto.

Institution / Organization
2020/10/26 - 2020/10/26 Pitch Competition organized in the context of PhD Open Days 2020. The competition consists of a selection of 20 participants among all the applicants who had to do a 3 minutes presentation on their current research. My presentation "Scalar fields in strong gravity regime: looking for new forms of matter" was about dark matter research using gravitational signatures. Pitch Competition
Universidade de Lisboa Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal
2019/09/27 - 2019/09/28 "European Researchers' Night" organized by the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), with the aim of scientific divulgation for children and students of Middle and High schools. The event consisted of sky observations with telescopes, brief videos about the Universe, learning games for children, simulations of physical processes such as rocket launches.
