in Tokyo
I am a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, where I have been based since 2012 — first as a Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 Fellow in the Applied and Computational Mathematics group of the School of Mathematics, then as a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow and Associate at the Institute for Astronomy, within School of Physics and Astronomy. I am now jointly appointed to both Schools.
I received my education at the Università degli Studi di Milano and, as a Fulbright Graduate Researcher, at Drexel University in Philadelphia. My PhD thesis has been recognised by the International Astronomical Union with a Gruber Foundation Young Scientist Award, which I took up at Indiana University Bloomington.
Until Autumn 2019 I will be hosted by the University of Tokyo, within the Computational Astrophysics group in the Department of Astronomy, where I arrived as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science International Fellow, under the auspices of the Royal Society.
Made in Italy, forged for a lustrum in Scotland, I now live in Japan. My current whereabouts may (or may not) be included in this travel schedule.
