I am a PhD student in Physics at the Department of Physics and Geology at the University of Perugia, Italy. I have recently joined the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) collaboration, and my doctoral project focuses on the Phenomenological Study of Energetic Charged Radiation in Space.

Research activity

My interest in space exploration safety and space weather dates back to my bachelor’s thesis when I utilized a Force-Field approximation to solve the Parker equation that governs the propagation of galactic cosmic rays in the heliosphere. During my master’s thesis and in the initial months of my PhD, I have shifted to a numerical approach to develop forecasting models of GCR fluxes using high-energy data from space-borne experiments such as PAMELA and AMS-02, as well as solar observations. Despite the main objectives of AMS-02 focusing on investigating high-energy antimatter excess and potential dark matter signals through precision measurements of cosmic ray fluxes, its data are crucial for calibrating predictive models of GCRs around Earth for space weather studies.
