I was born in La Spezia in 1994 and raised in Tuscany. I attended classical High School (Liceo Classico “G. Leopardi”) in Aulla (Tuscany). I obtained both my Bachelor (2016) and Master (2018) degree in Physics at the University of Pisa. My Master thesis, under the joint supervision of Prof. F. Califano (University of Pisa) and Prof. Matteo Faganello (Aix-Marseille University), was focused on space plasmas, more specifically on the interaction between Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetospheric flanks. In October 2018 I started my Ph.D. at Aix-Marseille University working on the interaction between magnetic reconnection and turbulence in an astrophysical context via data analysis and simulations. I'm currently in the Plasma Physics group at the University of Pisa under the framework of cooperation between the two universities.
