• Marie-Curie fellowship Horizon 2020

  • Jun 2015 - Present

  Project title: The impact of superfluidity and superconductivity on the magneto-thermal evolution and X-ray observations of neutron stars.



Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF)

• AstroFit fellowship (Marie-Curie and INAF cofunded fellowship)

  • Dec 2012 - Nov 2014

  Researcher at the National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF) with a fellowship co-founded by the European Fp7/Marie-Curie programme and INAF. This grant has been won with a project titled "Relativistic models of Magnetars with magnetosphere". Manager and Principal Investigator of this grant: Dr. Andrea Passamonti.Topic: Implementation and development of numerical codes to solve systems of coupled partial dif- ferential equations. These codes are used to describe the magneto-hydrodynamics of multi- component and multilayer systems. The aim of this research grant is the study of seismic vibrations in compact stars in order to infer their physical parameters.



University of Tübingen

• Postdoctoral Researcher

  • Oct 2008 - Nov 2010

  Postdoctoral researcher at the "Theoretical Astrophysics Group" of the University of Tübingen, Germany. Topics:• Numerical resolution of Einstein’s equations in two dimensions to study the dynamics of superfluid and magnetised neutron stars.• Study of hydrodynamical instabilities in rapidly rotating systems and their impact on radiative phenomena.



University of Southampton (UK)

• Temporary Lecturer

  • Sep 2007 - Oct 2010

  Temporary Lecturer at the General Relativity Group, School of Mathematics, University of Southampton, UK. Topics:• Research: development of numerical codes to study the hydrodynamics of rapidly rotating, two- fluid systems. These numerical code are able to study the properties of the sharp acceleration observed in radio Pulsars.• Teaching: Lecturer in two courses per year: i) “Introduction to Mathematical Method” (about 145 BSC students), and ii) “Gravitational Waves” (about 6 MSC students).



University of Thessaloniki (Greece)

• Postdoctoral Researcher

  • Oct 2005 - Sep 2007

  Postdoctoral Researcher at the Physics Department. Topics:• Three-dimensional numerical simulations to study the impact of non-linear effects in the seismic vibrations of compact stars.• Development of numerical codes to study eigenfunction problems in rotating stars to determine the spectrum of seismic oscillations.



University of Portsmouth (UK)
