CV

M.Sc. Thesis Student

DarkSide-20k / INFN Roma

• Conducted a comparative study of triggerless and triggered acquisition modes, evaluating their impact on physics data quality
• Developed new models to characterize cross-talk and afterpulsing phenomena in SiPM array signals
• Designed and implemented a baseline reconstruction algorithm to mitigate the impact of undershoots and monitor long-term baseline drift in SiPM signals during Proto-0 data taking, successfully integrated into the Front-End Processor of the DarkSide-20k DAQ architecture
• Tested matched filtering techniques for fake trigger rate reduction
• Participated in detector operations and data-taking shifts at the Proto-0 facility in Naples, contributing to DarkSide-20k Photo Detection Unit (PDU) testing activities at the PDU Test Facility (PTF)

Research Intern (CYGNO Experiment)

INFN — Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati

CYGNO readout system signal characterization

• Developed a Python software for event reconstruction analysis and characterization of PMT signals and optical camera readout, studying and comparing their detection response

B.Sc. Thesis Student

DarkSide-50 / INFN Roma

• Performed a Python-based study of WIMP-argon interactions, implementing astrophysical parameters, nuclear form factors and interaction models
• Modeled the DarkSide-50 detector response to evaluate 90% exclusion limits on WIMP-nucleon cross-sections, comparing them with official results under varying detector and astrophysical assumptions
