I am a young researcher in Astroparticle Physics and gamma-ray Astrophysics. I did my Ph.D. in France at the Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille (CPPM), working for the future Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO).
CTAO will be the next generation of ground-based telescopes for gamma-ray detection using the Cherenkov technique. I am currently doing research in both CTAO's first Large Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) and MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope).
MAIN SCIENTIFIC INTEREST
  1. Astroparticle Physics
  2. Very High Energy Astrophysics
  3. Galactic sources: Stellar Clusters
  4. Extragalactic sources: Blazars
