Introduction:

I was born in Cuneo, a little town in the north-west of Italy, in 1989. Fifteen years ago I was fascinated by engineering and my dream was to build a teleportation machine. After attending scientific high school I moved to Turin to study Physics where, again, I was attracted by big futuristic machines and the elementary processes inside them.

In the summer 2012, while attending the Master on Theoretical Physics, I took part to the Summer Student Program at SLAC. I was then intrigued by elementary particle physics, and now I finally achieved the dream to work, in one way or another, with futuristic machines. Being a member of the HiggsTools ITN means that I can follow my dream.
