English: I am a postdoctoral fellow in the QuIT group. My research focuses quantum thermodynamics and optimal control of quantum systems, but also encompasses thermodynamic computing and  entanglement detection. I am originally from Italy, grew up in France and Switzerland. My accademic path starts in 2015 with a bachelor in physics at EPFL in Lausanne (Switzerland). In 2018 I moved to Zürich to do my master in physics at ETHZ. I then pursued a PhD in physics at the University of Geneva from 2020 until 2024 under the supervision of Martí Perarnau-Llobet and Nicolas Brunner. After completing my PhD I was awarded a postdoc mobility grant by the swiss national science foundation, which I am currently carrying out in the QuIT group. The scope of the grant is on two topics. One is the characterization and understanding of collective effects in quantum many body systems, with the objective of exploiting them to minimize the energetic cost to perform operations. The other is to reach a better understanding of the foundations of open quantum systems and thermalization. Beyond these topics i also work on entanglement detection in dissipative systems and on the fundamental thermodynamic limits of thermodynamic computing.
