Research interest
I am interested in Planet Formation, the evolution of Dust and Gas in
Protoplanetary disks and in particular the role of Streaming Instability.To learn more about this fascinating process, I perform hydrodynamic simulations using
Hydro codes like FARGO3D or PLUTO.
Free time activities
I like cycling (including bike tours), fishing, maintaining my aquariums and playing computer games.
Note: In the future I will add photos related to these free time activities
