I am an Associate Professor at the University of Bologna, Italy. I currently serve as Principal Investigator for the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant NEMUS. This is a 5-year project aiming at synthesising the sound of historical harpsichords that are currently out of playing condition.

Previously, I was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow (2017) at the Acoustics and Audio Group at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. I was also a Royal Society Newton Fellow (2015) and part of the NESS project.

My main interests in research are
- Physical modelling sound synthesis
- Numerical solution of partial differential equations
- Experimental modal analysis
- Nonlinear dynamics
- Wave Turbulences

I am also a co-founder of Physical Audio Instruments
