I work in computational condensed matter physics, with a research path that began with studies on surfaces and interfaces and later expanded to the investigation of complex atomic dynamics and defects in metals and nanostructures. After completing my PhD in Turin, I spent nearly five years at the Bremen Center for Computational Materials Science, where I consolidated my focus on dynamic processes at the atomic scale. Since 2020 I have been at Politecnico di Torino, using multiscale simulations, advanced sampling techniques, and machine learning to reconstruct local and collective processes that govern deformation, stability, and reactivity under confinement. In parallel, I study bio-inorganic interfaces, connecting molecular structures to spectroscopic observables, and collaborate on national and international projects.
