Research activity

My research interests are in neutrino physics, with a particular focus on neutrino oscillations and reactor antineutrino physics. I am currently working on the JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) experiment, where my work is mainly focused on data analysis. At the beginning, I worked mostly on the selection and analysis of inverse beta decay (IBD) events, the main detection channel for reactor antineutrinos in JUNO. I am now also interested in neutrino oscillation measurements and the systematic effects that affect their precision. Previously, I worked with the KM3NeT collaboration during my internship in Caen and my master’s thesis, gaining experience in neutrino event selection, detector reconstruction, and Monte Carlo studies. More broadly, I am interested in neutrino detection, data analysis, simulations, and precision measurements in astroparticle physics.
