ABOUT ME
I am an Assistant Professor in Theoretical High-Energy Physics at SISSA (Trieste, Italy). Before that, I was a Post-doc at Harvard University (USA) (Black Hole Initiative & Center for the Fundamental Laws of Nature) and at the Technical University of Vienna (Austria).
My research interests include:
-
Asymptotic symmetries and charges in General Relativity:
Bondi-Metzner-Sachs symmetries for asymptotically flat space-times and their extensions, as well as their relationship with gravitational memory effects. -
Black hole physics: near-horizon symmetries, entropy, soft hair
-
Celestial holography, i.e. the recent proposal of
reconsidering the S-matrix as a correlation function in a celestial two-dimensional CFT which aims towards a formulation of flat space holography; conformally soft particles; -
Other topics: Carrollian physics, three-dimensional gravity and its massive deformations, warped deformations of AdS spaces, cosmological horizons, membrane paradigm,...
