My research focus on Theoretical Particle Physics:

​

Axion/ALPs Physics

Model independent analysis of axion/ALP phenomenology at colliders and B-factories.

Study of axion/ALP arising within specific flavour models, Composite Higgs models and as Majoron.

Analysis of the ALP/Heavy Neutral Leptons couplings and of the corresponding phenomenological impact.

Formulation of massive ALP models.

​

Higgs Physics

Study of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking mechanism, within the context of the Standard Model Higgs particle and of realistic alternatives where the Higgs is not expected to be exactly an SU(2)L-doublet.

Construction of the non-linear (or chiral) effective Lagrangian for a not-exactly-doublet Higgs - also dubbed HEFT - and study of the corresponding phenomenology (collider and flavour data), identifying strategies to disentangle the Higgs nature. Of particular interest is the comparison with the linear effective Lagrangian for a Standard Model Higgs - also dubbed SMEFT.

Study of the interactions of a Dark Matter candidate (being a scalar or a pseudo-Nambu Goldstone boson) in the context of a non-linearly realised Electroweak Symmetry Breaking mechanism.

​

Flavour Physics

Explanation of fermion masses and mixing patterns, especially with the help of flavour symmetries, in the framework of the Standard Model and of Grand Unified Theories with and without Supersymmetry.

Phenomenological analyses on the viability of flavour models.

Analysis of the Minimal Flavour Violation ansatz in beyond Standard Model theories, especially in the context of gauge flavour symmetries and in scenarios where the electroweak symmetry breaking is non-linearly realised. Dedicated analysis on the lepton sector.

Analysis of the viability of Dark Matter candidates with flavour interactions with the Standard Model fermions.​
