hello there
👋🏻 I am a PhD student at University of Padova, working in the Quantum Information and Matter group supervised by Prof. Simone Montangero.
My research is focused on quantum error correction and quantum information. I develop large-scale quantum simulations with optimized numerical methods, especially tensor-networks.
Aside from research, I wander in the realms of Linux kernels and road bikes 🚴🏻.
I use Fedora btw.
🌐 in this website
This website is a portfolio dedicated to academic work, though I plan to post more stuff about my free time in the future.
➡️ in my world line
- thesis at the Quantum Optimization group, University of Innsbruck
- internship at CERN Quantum Technology Initiative, as openlab summer student 2023
- MSc in Physics, University of Padova. Core lectures: quantum information, quantum hardware, quantum cryptography and security, computational physics, neural networks and deep learning.
