About Me
I am an astronomer, working at the European Southern Observatory in the
Extremely Large Telescope Science Office.
My research is centered on the study of Active Galactic Nuclei, which include quasars, using data across the whole electromagnetic spectrum. I am working on very deep radio surveys and neutrinos as well.
I also work on the Extremely Large Telescope, a revolutionary new ground-based telescope concept, which will have a 40-metre-class main mirror and will be the largest optical/near-infrared telescope in the world.
Here's

On July 5, 2019 I have received the Sparlamento Prize 2019 awarded in the Italian House of Parliament in Rome "for having contributed with my work to valorise the Italian excellence in Astronomy".
