Hey! I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher associate at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena (USA). 


I am a black hole astronomer. I study how black holes grow, evolve, and shape the universe. My focus is on the supermassive ones powering the centers of active galaxies. I probe their behavior, going from the innermost regions, which are exceptional labs for studying gravity at its glory, to the more extended regions where the black holes inject power and matter into their host galaxies altering their evolution. In my research, I combine observational and modeling techniques to understand the multi-wavelength spectral and timing properties of black holes.
