About

As a Senior Researcher at Università di Pisa, I focus on investigating the impact of dielectric defects on nanotransistor performance, utilizing expertise in computational physics and semiconductor technology. My work involves analyzing materials such as Al2O3, SiO2, and HfO2, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to advance the understanding of transition metal dichalcogenides like MoS2 and WSe2. With significant experience in data science and AI model training, I contribute to evaluating and optimizing advanced AI systems for condensed matter physics. My efforts bridge the gap between domain-specific scientific knowledge and emerging AI technologies, driving innovation in research and development.
