Profile

I did my undergraduate studies at the universities of Pavia and Torino, Italy and obtained my PhD from Politecnico di Torino. I was a postdoc at the university of Neuchâtel (1998-200), École Normale Supérieure, Paris (2000-2003) and CERN, Geneva (2004-2005) before joining QMUL in 2006.

My research focuses on String Theory, Quantum Field Theory and the relation between the two. In particular I am currently working on various aspects of the AdS/CFT duality in presence of heavy states and on the eikonal limit of gravitational scattering. Both problems provide interesting insights on black hole dynamics, which has been at centre of my interests in the past few years.
