About

Physics researcher with a PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of Turin. I have experience in designing and developing particle detector hardware for nuclear physics experiments. My skills spans both hardware and software, including data analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. In recent years, I have specialized in space radiation modelling, focusing on Monte Carlo–based dose estimation for various space mission scenarios.
