About Me


I am an Italian scientist working in the US interested in simulating complex dynamical systems to uncover the deepest secrets of the Universe.

I received my PhD from Boston College in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Gabor Kalman. My PhD Thesis title was The Dynamic Structure Functions of Strongly Coupled Binary Charged Systems. This work lead to the important discovery of new features in plasmas composed by more than one species of the same charge sign.

Currently, I am a Fixed-Term Assistant Professor at Michigan State University in the Dept of Computational Mathematics Science and Engineering (CMSE). My PhD research was mostly theoretical and it relied heavily on computer simulations thus, I decided to come to MSU to learn more about computational techniques in plasma physics
