Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Milan, after a PhD at the IoA in Cambridge, an MPE postdoctoral position and an ESO Fellowship in Garching. He is head of the ERC Starting Grant UNVEIL project (2023-2028).

His research focuses on characterizing the physical and chemical conditions of planet formation in protoplanetary disks and unraveling the presence of embedded protoplanets. With a background in hydrodynamics and thermochemical models, he is currently involved in data reduction and analysis, mainly in sub-mm. In particular, he isco-PI of the exoALMA Large program, aimed at hunting for young planets while they are still evolving in their disk, and PI/co-PI of the JWST programs to directly acquire images of embedded protoplanets.
