I am a theoretical physicist working on quantum gravity. I study quantum spacetime and its symmetries, and use astrophysical and cosmological observations to test Planck-scale physics.
I am a member of the Physics Department of the University of Naples Federico II and associate member of INFN, where I participate in the initiative QUAGRAP - Quantum Gravity Theory and Phenomenology.
I am Chair of the European collaborative network COST Action CA23130 - BridgeQG: Bridging high and low energies in search for quantum gravity.
I am member of the Directive Council of the Italian Society of general relativity and gravitation (SIGRAV) and of the International society for quantum gravity (ISQG). I am Editorial Board member of the international journal Europhysics Letters.
In 2018-2023 I was part of the European collaborative network COST Action CA18108 - Quantum gravity phenomenology in the multi-messenger approach, for which I participated in the Management Committee as Italy's representative and co-lead the Working Group 1 (Theoretical approaches to Planck-scale physics).
Before moving to Naples, I was at the University of Burgos, Radboud University in Nijmegen, Imperial College London, University of Rome Sapienza, IPhT/Saclay and University of California Berkeley.
