I am an experimental High Energy physicist, Research Manager at INFN.
I graduated from Turin in 1985 and received my Ph.D. from the University of Heidelberg in 1989. In the same year, I won an INFN permanent researcher competition at the Turin section, and started my professional career that led me to work at CERN and DESY and for shorter periods also at SLAC and DUBNA. I worked in the early stages of my career in data analysis, and later on the design and implementation of hardware for gas and semiconductor detectors, also following and proposing activities with technological spin-offs in the areas of Medical Physics and Cultural Heritage.
I was Group I coordinator (1997-2003) and director of the Turin section from 2009 to 2016. I also directed from 2018 to 2021 the External Funds Division of the Central Administration where I coordinated about 20 people on activities to support fund raising, design and reporting of projects assigned to INFN staff from national and international calls.

Since November 2022, I have been on secondment to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation as Scientific Attaché at the Embassy in Vienna.
I have always been very disturbed by gender bias and inequality, perhaps partly because I have a daughter who is a girl, which makes me naturally sensitive to the topic. I am a founding member (Torino 2020) of the association Torino City for Women (TOxD), because I am convinced that a gender-balanced society is not only fairer but also more efficient and better for everyone, including men, and I therefore also consider it my responsibility, to contribute and work on this goal.
