About me
I am a PhD student at the University Observatory of the Ludwig-Maximulian University of Munich, working on dust dynamics in hydrodynamical simulations.
I graduated as a Bachelor in Physics in Rome, my hometown, in 2020, and then moved to Munich to pursue a Master in Physics, which I earned in 2022.
I am passionate about hydrodynamical simulations and in their role in exploring astorphysical processes. In addition, I am a co-developer of the hydrodynamical simulation code OpenGadget3.
Download CV
I have implemented the One-Fluid model for dust dynamics (Laibe & Price, 2014) in the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) framework of OpenGadget3 and conducted some hydrodynamical simulations to study the dynamics of dust in Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities and Cold Keplerian Disks.
Paper submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics.
I have also implemented it in the Meshless-Finite-Mass (MFM) framework of OpenGadget3. I have extended the implementation to multiple grain sizes and investigated the role of this novel framework in solving the dynamics of dust.
Paper in preparation.
Co-Developer of OpenGadget3
I am one of the co-developers of OpenGadget3, a state-of-the-art parallel N-body SPH and MFM code for cosmological as well as galaxy dynamics simulations. In particular, I am developing the dust dynamics module, coupled to both SPH and MFM frameworks.

pigpen
I developed pigpen, a 1D hydrodynamics code that models gas-dust mixtures using both an HLL and an Exact Riemann solver. It is designed to be simple, easy to customize, and straightforward to use. While not intended for state-of-the-art simulations, pigpen is a useful tool for exploring numerical methods and dust dynamics. Public and freely available on github.
DYNAMO
DYNAMO is a 3D N-body integrator to simulate the microscopical dynamics of dust grains with a mixture of harmonic and Coulomb potentials.
Still work-in-progress, but already available on github.
Quantum Computing
As part of a course project I developed a Quantum Fourier Transformer, as well as a Quantum Adder, using qiskit.
The jupiter notebook is available on github.
