My field of research is theoretical high-energy astrophysics.

I investigate the origin of non-thermal emission from Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe), AGN jets, fast radio bursts (FRBs), gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), supernovae, galaxy clusters, and low-luminosity accretion flows like Sgr A* around the supermassive black hole at the center of our Galaxy.

It is still a mystery how these objects can accelerate particles up to the highly non-thermal energies required to explain the observed emission, that typically extends from the radio up to the gamma-ray band.

By means of ab initio large-scale plasma simulations, I investigate particle acceleration in shocks, turbulence and magnetic reconnection from first principles, with the aim of using the simulations to interpret the observations, and ultimately unveil the nature of astrophysical non-thermal sources.
