My Resume

My Resume

"Ad astra per aspera"

Main research topic

High-energy and multimessenger astronomy

Most of my current and future projects are based on these main topics: 1) multimessenger and time-domain high-energy astrophysics 2) high-energy polarimetry and 3) advanced machine learning techniques for data analysis and/or data reconstruction.
