I did my undergraduate studies in Rome (Italy) at the "Terza Universita' di Roma".

I then moved to the Astronomy Department of the University of Trieste, where I eventually obtained my Ph.D. with a Thesis "On the Galactic and Extra-Galactic Classical Novae" (2003-2006).

During my Ph.D. I spent two years (Sep2003-Aug2005) at ESO/Chile, where I met a lot of the people who are now involved in VSOP.

My first post-doc, was at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Brussels, Belgium), where I have spent nine months trying to start a project on nova-like stars.

After a year (Apr2007-Mar2008) in Chile as Observation Astronomer in La Silla, I am now pipeline astronomer for "OSIRIS" the optical "day one" instrument for "GTC".

Within VSOP, I am interested in emission line objects, especially those which may show to have a lot of different components contributing to the final spectrum.
