I am Associate Professor of Fluid Dynamics at Sapienza University and principal investigator of the ERC-StG project HyGate. My research is in theoretical and computational fluid mechanics of interfaces at the micro- and nano-scale. In particular, I am keen on understanding the origin of metastability in problems of engineering and multidisciplinary interest, including ion channel gating, superhydrophobicity, contact angle hysteresis, nanobubbles and cavitation inception. I obtained a MS in Mechanical Engineering from Sapienza University of Rome and the Polytechnic Institute of New York University in 2010. I hold a PhD in Theoretical an Applied Mechanics from Sapienza. In 2014 I moved to Germany to work as postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems of Stuttgart with which I still collaborate.
