About

PhD candidate in Quantum Technologies at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN). The research is focused on cavity optomechanics and their thermodynamical properties. Graduated in "Physics of Complex Systems" at Polytechnic of Turin in 2023. The master's thesis was focused on the semiclassical analysis of a superconducting circuit and it has been developed at USN, under the supervision of Professor Francesco Massel. Strong background in quantum mechanics, statistical physics and advanced calculus. Good programming skills in Julia. Basic programming skills in Python.

    I have worked on my master's degree thesis at University of Southern Eastern Norway for 5 months, headed by Professor Francesco Pietro Massel (USN). The thesis is focused on the derivation of the Hamiltonian in a semiclassical framework for a system of two Josephson Junctions in series. The dynamical equation relating to the phase of the superconducting island is equivalent to the Kapitza pendulum equation, i.e. the equation of a vertically driven pendulum. Dynamical simulations showed that the dynamics is highly non-linear.
