I'm a professor at the University of Padova, at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. I'm also associated to Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), sezione di Padova. My research activities are mainly in high energy physics. I collaborated for several years and I still collaborate with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experiment at the Fermilab laboratory close to Chicago (USA). But the major efforts are for the LHCb experiment at CERN. I'm also interested in computing for high energy physics and I collaborate to several projects related to distributed computing.
