<h2>About Me</h2>
<p>Welcome to my homepage!</p>
<p>
  I am an experimental high-energy nuclear physicist and a INFN postdoctoral fellow at the INFN Sezione di Trieste.
  My research aims to understand the properties of Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP) - a deconfined state of quarks and gluons
  that existed in the early universe just microseconds after the Big Bang - through measurements in ultra-relativistic
  collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
</p>
<p>
  Since 2018, I have been an active member of the ALICE Collaboration, one of the four major LHC experiments. I have
  contributed extensively to detector calibration, data quality assurance, and have led key physics analyses in
  measurements of inclusive photon and charged-particle production across a wide range of collision systems: pp, p–Pb,
  Pb–Pb, and light-ion (pO, OO, Ne–Ne).
</p>
<p>
  In April 2025, I was appointed Convener of the Physics Analysis Group (PAG) "Global Event Properties" within the
  ALICE Physics Working Group "Light Flavour Spectra", coordinating approximately 20-30 physicists across multiple
  international institutions. This role involves overseeing and facilitating physics analyses of global collision
  observables within the ALICE Collaboration.
