Research interests: higher-spin gauge theories; gravitational theories in three space-time dimensions; asymptotic symmetries; gravitational waves.

Bio sketch: I grew up in Luino, Italy, and I studied physics at the University of Pisa and at Scuola Normale Superiore, where I was admitted as “Allievo Ordinario”. In 2009 I obtained a PhD in Physics from Scuola Normale Superiore, working under the supervision of Augusto Sagnotti. I then held postdoctoral fellowships at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics of Potsdam (Germany), at the Université libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) and at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). In 2018 I joined the University of Mons as tenured research associate of the F.R.S.-FNRS. In 2015 I was the recipient of the Renato Musto Award for Theoretical Physics and in 2019 I was awarded a FNRS incentive grant in scientific research – MIS.
My research mainly focuses on higher-spin theories, that is, on gauge theories involving fields with spin greater than two, and on gravitational theories in three space-time dimensions. Within these frameworks, I extensively worked on the characterisation of asymptotic symmetries in the presence of higher-spin fields.
