Welcome to my personal website! Here you can find a bit about my research, the projects I contributed to, and my academic and non-academic life.
For my undergraduate and master’s programs, I studied Mathematical Sciences at the University of Siena, my hometown in the Tuscany region of Italy.
At the end of my master’s program, I was awarded a full-ride scholarship and research fellowship abroad. That’s how I arrived at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, where I also stayed to pursue a PhD program in Applied Mathematics.
Since I started as a postdoc at the Universtity of Colorado at Boulder, and now as a Research Software Engineer at Caltech, I have been contributing to some open-source software projects, listed below.
Open-source Software Community Projects:
-
libCEED (main contributor)
-
PETSc (minor contributor)
-
ClimaCore.jl (main contributor)
Outside of Academia:
Fun facts:
- I was a hip-hop dancer for fourteen years (I even competed in some national competitions in Italy) until the end of my master program.
- If you are subscribed to Disney+ you can catch me in a short animated film as extra content of the Cars3 movie!
In my life outside of research, I love listening to music, dancing, cooking, swimming, snorkeling, and spending time outdoors hiking with my cat.
