Research activity
My research interests lie in neutrino physics and the study of fundamental interactions using large-scale neutrino detectors.
During my internship in Caen, I worked within the KM3NeT collaboration on the analysis of stopping muons in the ORCA detector. This work focused on event selection and the study of reconstruction effects relevant for muon energy and track length estimation, as well as understanding systematic uncertainties in the reconstruction of low-energy muon events.
My master’s thesis is centered on neutrino transmission through the Earth in the context of the KM3NeT/ARCA telescope. The study investigates how neutrino interaction cross-section uncertainties affect the expected neutrino flux and the sensitivity of oscillation-related measurements in large-volume neutrino telescopes.
In addition, I will be involved in neutrino oscillation studies within the JUNO experiment, with a focus on data analysis and related systematic effects. My interest lies in reactor antineutrino physics, detector response modelling, and precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters.
More broadly, I am interested in neutrino detection techniques, Monte Carlo simulations, and statistical methods used in high-energy astroparticle physics.
