Biography

I am a PhD student in condensed matter physics at Politecnico di Torino (Department of Applied Science and Technology), Italy. My PhD is in “Quantum phases, miscibility
properties and topological states in binary mixtures”. I am strongly research-oriented in theoretical models dealing with
the physics of ultracold atoms including topological states in quantum mixtures, vortex dynamics, Gross-Pitaevskii equations, and miscibility properties of superfluids quantum gases. My current research directions also include Bose-Hubbard models in optical lattices and atomic supecurrents.
I am also interested in quantum Monte Carlo simulations, and free energy calculation methods with the aid of Monte-Carlo/
Molecular Dynamics. I obtained my Master of Science degree in 2021 at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, with a thesis in “Free energy calculation in many-body particle systems with coupled molecular simulations”.
