Associate Professor,

University of Padova.

I study stochastic and nonequilibrium phenomena, complex systems, polymers, and biophysics. My current research focuses on stochastic thermodynamics, microrheology of driven probes and complex fluids, and simple models that help clarify mechanisms in machine learning.

I'm a member of the BSSP group (Biological, Soft-matter & Statistical Physics).

Current research

01

Stochastic thermodynamics

Quantifying irreversibility, frenetic aspects, response and bounds in stochastic nonequilibrium dynamics.

02

Models of microrheology

Minimal models for driven probes, complex fluids and viscoelastic environments, connecting microscopic fluctuations to the response of the fluid.

03

Simple machine learning

Statistical-physics inspired models for understanding learning, optimization and representation in simplified settings.
