Lines of research

I am an experimental physicist, I investigate complex interfacial systems such as foams and emulsions, and nanostructures, with an eye to applications in technology and nanomedicine. At the same time, I keep a curious eye on fundamental problems, as the behaviour of colloids, drugs and proteins near or at interfaces, understanding of arrest phenomenology and glass transition. I employ different techniques: spectroscopies (diffusing wave spectroscopy, X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and DLS) microscopy, surface and interfacial rheology. I have been among the first to perform XPCS in grazing incidence geometry on a Langmuir monolayer, and was invited to contribute reviews and talks on this subject. In the last years, with my research group, we have performed a number of experiments in microgravity onboard the Interantional Space Station. To know more, please visit us at https://lmn.unipr.it/
