I have started my university journey in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in engineering physics at Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi), during my first degree I got the opportunity to learn the basis of both physics and engineering with a broad all-around preparation. Once I have completed the bachelor’s degree I have started my master studies, still in Engineering Physics (PoliMi), but with a more precise focus for the field of nano-physics and nanotechnology. During my masters’ degree I also got the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim.

From September 2020 to July 2021 I carried out research for my thesis at COSMOS Lab. (PoliMi). The topic has been the precision spectroscopy of molecular hydrogen with a spectrometer that for the first time combined coherent Raman processes with the absolute frequency calibration offered by optical frequency combs. This combination allows to reach metrology grade spectroscopic measurements. In this period, I gained expertise in lasers, optical frequency combs and optical setups.

Currently, I am pursuing a PhD – started in September 2021 - here in the group of Prof. Dr. Nina Rohringer at DESY, Hamburg, Germany. The main research focus of the group is the theoretical study of ultrafast nonlinear x-ray optics and the application of innovative light sources such as synchrotrons and XFELs. My research interests generally concern x-ray scattering under extreme conditions. Everything regarding the experimental realization, from sample optimization and production, through design of the experimental setup to data collection and analysis.
