Short CV:

Born in Bitritto (Bari) on November 29th 1974.

Graduation in Physics at University of Bari in 2000.

PhD in Chemistry of Innovative Materials at University of Bari in 2003.

From 2003 to 2005 researcher as Marie Curie EURATOM fellowship at the Max Planck Institute fur Plasmaphysik of Greifswald (Germany).

Since 2008 researcher at IMIP-CNR.

Main research interests include:

1) Dynamics and kinetics in non equilibrium rarefied gases and plasmas;

2) Laser-induced plasma;

3) Ion sources: gas discharges, electric thrusters, negative ion sources;

4) Particle models of gases and plasmas: Particle-in-Cell (PIC) and Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC);

5) Plasma-surface transition and interactions: plasma pre-sheath, plasma sheath, divertor region, etc.

6) Electrostatic probe theory and dusty plasmas.
