Hello

About Me
Under the supervision of Dr. Silvano Fineschi and Dr. Roberto Susino, my research focuses on the diagnostics and instrumentation for space weather investigation from multiple solar missions.
Currently, my work is deeply integrated into the ASPIICS/Proba-3 mission. I contributed to the instrument's polarimetric and radiometric calibration and developed a dedicated web application for data analysis and visualization, which I recently presented at the First ASPIICS Data Workshop in Bucharest. My doctoral research aims to exploit the scientific synergy between ASPIICS and Metis/Solar Orbiter, integrating multi-instrument datasets to better understand the physical mechanisms of the solar corona.


My expertise in coronal studies is rooted in both space-borne and ground-based observations. I presented a poster at the Space It Up! Days conference regarding the April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse campaign in Mexico. During this campaign, I contributed to the data analysis and laboratory calibration of E-KPol instrument, a polarimetric study of the solar corona that serves as a precursor and validation tool for current space missions.
