Degree: Roma (Sapienza), 2022
Thesis: Scalar Flux from an extreme mass ratio inspiral: inclined circular orbits around Kerr black holes
Supervisor: Leonardo Gualtieri
Room: 169, Ed. C

I was born in Rome in 1998 and I grew up in the eastern suburbs of Rome. I discovered my passion for Natural Sciences at High School, especially I was interested in Mathematics, Physics and Biology. I chose to follow my passion for Physics and I earned my Bachelor’s Degree at University of Rome, “La Sapienza” in 2020. During my Master’s Degree, I have attended several courses on Quantum Field Theory and General Relativity. I started to be fascinated by strong-gravity phenomenology, therefore I decided to focus my study on General Relativity and Beyond. For my Master’s Thesis, I studied the modelling of Gravitational Waves sources in a large class of alternative theories of Gravity. In 2022, I got my Master’s Degree at “La Sapienza” with the thesis “Scalar Flux from an extreme mass ratio inspiral: inclined circular orbits around Kerr black holes” under the supervision of Professors Pani, Gualtieri and Maselli. Beyond Gravitational Waves, my research interests focus on both classical and quantum gravity.
