Researcher at Laboratory of Data Engineering

I studied physics at the University of Trieste and obtained a PhD in elementary particle physics at SISSA in Trieste. As a physicist, I worked on phenomenological Standard Model extension to explain flavor physics or dark matter. I gained experience as an analyst in a private company, where I started dealing with large databases and problems related to knowledge representation. Both experiences converged into what I do now: designing workflows for scientific data management in a FAIR-compliant manner, addressing interoperability issues related to scientific data, and identifying methodologies and tools for their optimal management. I am interested in the interplay between high-level data management and its technical implementation, as well as AI applications in the field of materials physics.
