I have been working at the frontier of theory and phenomenology of particle physics from more than 30 years. I graduated in 1986 (supervisor Prof. Guido Altarelli) with a thesis on the electroproduction of weak gauge bosons at electron-proton colliders. Then in 1991 I got my PhD degree (supervisor Prof. Giancarlo Rossi) with a thesis on the improved actions and 4-fermions operators for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) on the lattice. During my career, I have held various positions abroad as scientist, in particular at CERN, University of Notre Dame (USA), University Autonoma of Madrid (Spain), Helsinki Institute of Physics (Finland), and more recently at the National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophyiscs of Tallinn (Estonia) where I am still currently associated as regular visitor. More details can be found on my CV. 

During my research activity, I have been working in different research fields of particle physics, spanning from the phenomenology of the standard model (SM) of electroweak and strong interactions at the colliders HERA, LEP, Tevatron, LHC and future colliders, flavor-changing neutral current processes and CP violations, Higgs boson physics, top-quark physics, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, dark-matter search,  lattice field theories for QCD and its supersymmetric extension. More recently, I have been actively involved in the  physics of the dark sector and dark photons, and their potential searches at present and future colliders as well as in low energy experiments. I have recently started to work on a new research field aiming to tests the Bell's inequalities and quantum entanglement in high energy physics.
