Hey there! And welcome to my personal webpage.

I am an Astrophysics and Assistant Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Milan, Italy. My research intersects numerical cosmology, galaxy formation at the smallest scales, and 21 cm radio observations. Before arriving in Milan, I served as an Assistant Professor at the Astronomical Observatory of Córdoba, Argentina, and conducted research at the University of Victoria, Canada, and the Institute for Computational Cosmology in Durham, UK.

I tackle research using advanced computational methods and large-scale cosmological simulations. I also develop high-performance software for creating and analyzing these datasets. Some of my tools are publicly available, including Py-SPHViewer, a high-performance code designed to visualize complex simulations using clustering techniques.

Additionally, I am involved in major international collaborations focused on producing advanced hydrodynamical numerical models of galaxy formation within a cosmological context and exploring cosmological probes at the smallest scales using cutting-edge ground and space-based facilities.
