I obtained a Bachelor's/Master's degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Computational Materials Science at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". After my graduation, I continued my studies with postdoctoral appointments in institutes in Japan and Ireland, where I focused my research on the application of quantum mechanical and semi-classical models to understand and predict the properties of novel materials with technological interest. From 2016 to 2023, I was a research fellow at the University of Technology Sydney, where I studied the application of machine learning models to support and amplify the capabilities of quantum mechanical models.
