About me

I am an astronomy Research Fellow at the Centro di Ateneo di Studi e Attività Spaziali "Giuseppe Colombo" - CISAS of the University of Padova, Italy.

My research cover several critical areas in the field of exoplanets, which are defined as planetary bodies outside our Solar System. I am an expert in validating candidate exoplanets identified with the transit method, which is a crucial step to identify genuine exoplanets and exclude false positives among the plethora of transiting candidates. My expertise extends to the confirmation and characterisation of single- and multi-planet systems, expecially those younger than 1 Gyr.

I am a keen programmer and am always willing to learn a new programming language; I am currently doing my research in Python. I also spend some time doing astronomic observations, mainly at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG).
