About
I received my undergraduate and MSc degrees from Tor Vergata University in Rome in 2008. After that, I moved to Cambridge where I got my PhD in 2012. From 2012 to 2016 I held a Junior Research Fellowship at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. In November 2016 I became a Winton Advanced Research Fellow and I am now running a research group on ultra-fast spintronics at the University of Cambridge.
Research
I am interested in studying quantum spin-effects in magnetically ordered materials, from ferromagnets to anti-ferromagnets to chiral magnets. In the past years my research has focused on current-induced torques in spin-orbit coupled ferromagnets by using microwave transport techniques. I am now setting up a lab on time-domain THz emission spectroscopy to study these effects at 1000 times faster timescales.
