My PhD has taken place mostly in Trieste, where I have grown and characterized graphene-based nanostructures on metal surfaces to the end of completing my thesis titled “Growth and properties of graphene-based materials”.
I then moved to Aarhus, Denmark, where I have been a postdoc first, and an assistant professor later, at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Aarhus University in the ARPES group. During this time, I mainly performed out-of-equilibrium photoemission experiments to study quantum materials, and developed new data analysis techniques necessary to handle the data generated at FELs and nanoARPES beamlines.
I am currently a research technologist at CNR-IOM, in Trieste, where I grow and characterize high mobility III-V semiconductors by using molecular beam epitaxy.
