I am a post-doctoral researcher in Physics at “Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modèles Statistiques” (LPTMS) in Orsay, France. I work on problems in the field of stochastic processes, under the scientific coordination of Emmanuel Trizac and David Guéry-Odelin. My present research mainly focuses on the “Shortcuts to adiabaticity” in classical systems.
After graduating at “Università Sapienza“, Rome, I have got my Ph.D. in Physics in the same university under the supervision of Angelo Vulpiani. My Ph.D. project concerned the statistical mechanics of Hamiltonian systems in bounded phase space, which can reach states at negative absolute temperature. We investigated both equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of such systems, trying to clarify the nature of such states from the point of view of statistical mechanics. My Ph.D. thesis has been published in the Springer Theses collection, and it can be found here.
Other research topics I am interested in include long-range interacting systems, causation and linear response theory, Langevin equation reconstruction from data.
