About Me

PhD candidate in Astrophysics at the University of Bologna (Italy), working at the Istituto di Radioastronomia (INAF-IRA, Bologna, Italy). I like to observe non-thermal phenomena in radio galaxies and galaxy clusters at different radio wavelenghts.

Together with this, I am currently working in HPC and GPU enabling of softwares for radio interferometric imaging.

I love sports (huge football and tennis fan), music, and crime novels.

Skills

Programming languages and interfaces

• C/C++, Python, Bash, CWL, Fortran, IDL, definetly *not* HTML (as you can easily guess from this website...)


• MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, HIP, for parallelization and GPU offloading on multiple architectures; NVIDIA HPC-SDK, ROCm, and profiling tools (such as NVIDIA Nsight)


• Wide expertise in working with high-level HPC clusters, such as Leonardo (CINECA), Setonix (Pawsey) and Pleiadi (INAF), and SLURM job management

Software

• Developer of Radio Imaging Code Kernels (RICK), to parallelize and accelerate algorithms for interferometric imaging


• LOFAR data reduction pipelines (LINC/Prefactor, DDFpipeline, LOFAR-VLBI pipeline) and dependent softwares (DP3, WSClean)


• CASA data calibration and imaging using VLA data (both total intensity and polarization)


• Capture and SPAM pipeline for uGMRT

Activities

• PhD in Astropysics (Nov. 2022 - Today) funded by Italian Research Center for High-Performance Computing (Fondazione ICSC)


• Member of the LOFAR Galaxy clusters WG


• Winner of PhD mobility grant “Marco Polo” from the University of Bologna to spend 3 months in Leiden (Netherlands, March 15th - June 15th 2024)


• Contributed talks in conferences/workshops, most of them of international relevance.


• Tutor for the course "MULTIWAVELENGTH ASTROPHYSICS LABORATORY-Modulo 5" at the faculty of "Astrophysics and cosmology" (Università di Bologna); support to the students on calibration and imaging of radio astronomy, Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) data using CASA reduction software (Sept - Oct 2023 and 2024).


• Tutor at the PhD school "Computing and High Performance Computing in Astronomy and Astrophysics" held in Bologna; support to the participants for the MPI parallelism and CUDA programming architecture for GPU offloading (July 2024).

Latest publications

• Accelerating radio astronomy imaging with RICK (January 2025)


• Magnetic fields in the outskirts of PSZ2 G096.88+24.18 from depolarization analysis of radio relics (October 2024)
