About Me
Italian astrophysicist, currently working as a post-doctoral researcher at the Hamburg Observatory (Hamburg University, Germany). I like to observe non-thermal phenomena in radio galaxies and galaxy clusters at different radio wavelenghts. Together with this, I also work in HPC and GPU enabling of softwares for radio interferometric imaging.
I love sports (huge football and tennis fan), music, and crime novels.
Skills
- Data reduction techniques and softwares for several radio interferometers (e.g., LOFAR with international baselines, VLA, uGMRT, MeerKAT), both in total intensity and polarization
- Familiar with several programming languages and interfaces (C/C++, Python, Bash, CWL, Fortran, IDL, definetly *not* HTML), in particular for parallelization (MPI, OpenMP) and GPU offloading (CUDA, HIP).
- Developer of Radio Imaging Code Kernels (RICK), to parallelize and accelerate algorithms for interferometric imaging
