Biography

I am a PhD student at the University of Melbourne under the supervision of prof. Stuart Wyithe. My research focuses on the effects that strong gravitational lensing induces on the observed Luminosity Function of high-redshift galaxies, comparing the analytical models for point-like and extended sources. I grew up in Casalbuttano ed Uniti (Italy) and eventually moved to Milan, where I lived at Collegio di Milano and studied Physics at the University of Milan. There I graduated under prof. Claudio Grillo and prof. Giuseppe Bertin. In my master thesis, I studied the presence of rotation and the state of dynamical relaxation in the galactic component of two clusters of galaxies.
