Career summary
A short version of my professional story is that I studied physics as an undergraduate at the “Università Federico II” in my hometown Napoli.
I also started my PhD in Physics in the same University, but soon moved as a visiting student at Stanford’s KIPAC institute, where I spent almost three years in the brazen California sun.
I then spent one year as a postdoc in Arcetri Observatory in Florence, and from there I moved to dwell under the grey skies of Paris, where I enjoyed three years between CEA’s IPhT and the Institute d’Astrophysique de Paris.
After that I ventured farther North, to work at the Oskar Klein Center at the University of Stockholm. After the two longest winters of my life, I headed to Madrid, where I cut short my fellowship at Instituto de Física Teórica at Universidad Autónoma to move even farther South.
A Junior Professorship at Sao Paulo’s ICTP-SAIFR has been an incredibly enriching experience, giving me the chance to build some amazing science programs over a stretch of five exciting years.
Yet, there’s no place like home: I came full circle and started a professorship in my Alma Mater just in time to be locked down in the same neighborhood where I grew up.
