About Me

I am a researcher with experience up to the Postdoctoral level, specialised in gravitational waves, with a strong background on data analysis. I have a passion for finance, technology, and continuous learning, complemented by a love for travel. I love tackling challenging problems and am now seeking to leverage my analytical skills and passion for innovation in a dynamic opportunity outside of academia, where I can combine my interests in finance and technology.

Experience

Postdoctoral Researcher – UIB, Palma, Spain

2022 – 2024

Data Scientist. Member of LIGO collaboration.
(i) I developed models to analyze Gravitational Waves data, focusing on finding events that are bent or magnified by massive objects (i.e. lensing).
(ii) I worked on a project to organize and automate the process of detecting these lensed events more efficiently.
(iii) I coded a pipeline to automate the creation of setup files, for cluster computing, for bayesian parameter estimation.

Ph.D. in Physics – University of Szczecin, Poland

2018 – 2022

Worked on gravitational lensing degeneracies and their impact on the parameter estimation of gravitational waves. In particular, I tackled the Hubble tension problem, a very hot topic in cosmology.

Data Scientist internship – DBA Group, Treviso, Italy

2018

I worked in a team focused on developing methods to record and analyse diverse datasets, ranging from meteorological to industrial data, using machine learning techniques to predict outcomes and improve data-driven decision-making.

Volunteering

Partnership Lead – Data for Good, Vancouver, Canada

2025 – present

I engage nonprofit organizations to identify their data needs, develop tailored strategies for impactful projects, and implement a CRM system to streamline client outreach and relationship management.

Skills

Education

M.Sc. Astrophysics – University of Padova and Stockholm University

2015 – 2017

B.Sc. Astrophysics – University of Padova

2011 – 2015

Talks and Writing

Talks

I gave various talks at international conference about my research on gravitational waves.

Writing

Apart from scientific papers, I wrote a divulgative paper on the use of machine learning for gravitational waves analysis. I also participatede in a divulgative YouTube video about dark energy and dark matter. Also, I like to write sometimes, more here.
