INAF, Arcetri Osservatorio, Firenze (Italy)
I am a researcher at INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri and a professor at the University of Florence, where I teach a master and PhD course on High Energy Astrophysics. In terms of research, I am broadly interested in particle acceleration and propagation. I have worked on the origin and propagation of Galactic Cosmic Rays, on particle acceleration in Pulsar Wind Nebulae and the physics of relativistic plasmas, and all the radiation signatures associated with these processes.
