Research

I carry on my research within the WIG (Weak Interaction Group) group at Università di Milano-Bicocca. In particular I work on the development of Low Temperature Detectors for Neutrino Physics and superconducting quantum devices for astroparticle physics.

The Use of Low Temperature Detectors for Direct Measurements of the Mass of the Electron Neutrino, Advances in High Energy Physics (2016) 9153024

We are looking for post-doc students for the research activities below: follow this link for more infos.

The (Interdepartmental Bicocca Quantum Technologies Center - BiQuTe) gathers and coordinates the activities in the field of Quantum Technologies carried out in the Physics, Material Science and Computer Science Departments of Bicocca University
