I am an astrochemist and a Staff Researcher in the star formation group at INAF - Arcetri Astrophysics Observatory. My research explores the origin of chemical complexity in Sun-like protostars. 

After completing my PhD at the University of Florence in 2018, I worked at the Institut de Planétologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble (IPAG, France) and at the Excellence Cluster ORIGINS (Germany). Back to Italy, I joined a project at INAF - Arcetri Astrophysics Observatory focused on the chemistry of protostellar disks funded by the Ministry of University and Research (PRIN-MUR 2022, FOSSILS) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI-MIGLIORA). Successively I accepted a position on the project STILES - Strengthening the Italian Leadership in ELT and SKA. 

Recently, I was awarded a MUR National Starting Grant of €1.3 million from the Italian science fund. Starting from October 2025, I lead the iSEEDs project (Astrochemical Study of Early Embedded Disks), dedicated to investigating the initial conditions for planet formation in young disks at INAF - Arcetri Astrophysics Observatory.
