Educational activities
During the first academic year (2017/2018) I attended the following lectures: • “Experimental high energy physics” (40 hours);
• “Extra-galactic astrophysics and cosmology” (40 hours); • “Academic English” (40 hours).
At the end of each course I succeeded in passing a final exam. In addition, as every student enrolled in the PhD program, at the end of the first and the second academic years I held two seminars:
• “Search for dark matter with the DarkSide-50 experiment”; • “CP violation in charm decays at LHCb”.
I also attended two schools for PhD students:
• the “Pisa School on Future Colliders” (September 2018): one week course on accelerator design issues for the next generation of high-energy lepton and hadron colliders;
• the “International school on trigger and data acquisition - ISOTDAQ 2019” (April 2019): two weeks course on the introduction to the ”art and crafts” of triggering and acquiring data for physics experiments.

Research experience in other institutions
During my PhD I measured the CP asymmetry in D0 → K0 SK
0
S decays using data collected by
the LHCb experiment. In view of further measurements in future runs of LHCb, I have also contributed to the development of an innovative real-time tracking system based on FPGAs. To work on this project I spent 1 year (01/01/2019 - 31/12/2019) at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva.
