I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Quantum Theory Group at the University of Bari A. Moro, Italy. In April 2025 I defended my PhD thesis titled "Cooperative effects in atom-photon interactions" under the supervision of Profs. Saverio Pascazio and Francesco V. Pepe. The topic of my PhD work was the investigation of the collective sub- and superradiant decay of cold atomic clouds employing statistical tools from random matrix theory, as part of the European QuantERA project PACE-IN. During my PhD, I spent a couple of months as a visiting PhD student in the Cold Atom Group at the Institut de Physique de Nice, CNRS - Université Côte d’Azur, Nice, France, under the supervision of CNRS Research Director Dr. Robin Kaiser.

Key words

cooperative effects, atom-photon interactions, random matrices, cold atomic clouds, phase transitions
