Summary
I got the Bachelor and Master Degree in Physics in Accelerator Physics and applied superconductivity in Milano and Genova. The last year of my master I taught physics at Antonio Rosmini High School. I've been an intern at Fermilab as a Summer Students in Chicago and EPM in Montreal. Now I'm a PhD candidate at EPFL in Lausanne and in Collaboration with EPM in Montreal and KIT in Karlsruhe. ----------------------------------------Extracurricular Activities------------------------------------------------------- I've played trombone jazz/classical and piano jazz/classical since 2006. Some of the main orchestra/band/formation are: -GMO (Giovani Musicisti Ossolani) (http://www.associazionesuoniamo.it/Suoniamo/Home.html) -White Spirit Gospel Choir (http://www.whitespirit.it/) -Blues 4 People https://myspace.com/blues4people (We've been on tour with The Original Blues Brothers Band from the same movie. We also recorded a CD available on I-Tunes and main Shops. http://www.rockol.it/vetrina-5502/blues-for-people-o-soul-mio) -Ottottoni -Accademia Big Band -EJMA Lausanne

Biography
I got the Bachelor and Master Degree in Physics in Accelerator Physics and applied superconductivity in Milano. The last year of my master I taught physics at Antonio Rosmini High School.I've been an intern at Fermilab as a Summer Students in Chicago and EPM in Montreal.
Now I'm a PhD candidate at EPFL in Lausanne and in Collaboration with EPM in Montreal and KIT in Karlsruhe.
At EPFL I had the possiblity to become part of the EPFLoop Team. Our universal aim of advancing Hyperloop technology and our wish to be included in the shaping of the fifth mode of transportation is what brought us together. Our team is made up of inspiring professors and passionate students from EPFL.
Current work
In order to help the penetration of HTS application on the market, the understanding of an electro-thermal behaviour of HTS tapes is fundamental both for their knowledge, than for the optimization of the manufacturing process in order to reduce the cost of a superconducting device. With a unique measurements technique developed at EPFL and EPM, and numerical simulations techniques at KIT the aim of this thesis is to improve the knowledge on HTS tapes.My focus is on:
- COMSOL modelling of superconductors (tapes and application) in collaboration with Dr. Francesco Grilli (Karlsruher Institut fur Technologie) and EPM (Ecole Polytechnique Montreal) and Dr. Bertrand Dutoit (EPFL Lausanne)
- Flux Flow
Beside my PhD I am following the EPFLoop Hyperloop project.
