I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. My research project "InAndOut: towards a complete understanding of young embedded disks" is financed by a grant provided by the EU Horizon 2020 initiative. Until September, I was an Independent Postdoctoral Fellow financed by a grant of the independent research fund Denmark at Heidelberg University in the group of Prof. Kees Dullemond. Besides working on modelling the formation phase of low-mass stars, I have been involved in the development of the DISPATCH code framework and I am currently investigating the effects of late infall events as mechanism of forming misaligned disks. In particular, I am an expert in carrying out zoom-in models to model the dynamics of young disks while simultaneously taking into account for the protostellar environment.
