My CV
Short CV
I am a member of the LEGEND (fundamental neutrino nature at Gran Sasso) and ATLAS (top quarks at LHC) Collaborations. I have also worked on the CDF (b-physics at Tevatron) and JUNO (neutrino oscillations in China) experiments.
Here you can find my full CV in downloadable, pdf format.
