I’ve touched all the continents on Earth. Europe, North America, Asia, Oceania, and Antarctica I went to through physics, whereas Africa and South America were holidays. I have a US service medal for service in Antarctica, which I received while working on ANITA, an experiment based in Antarctica that looks for ultra-high-energy neutrinos. I now work on two neutrino experiments at Fermilab, NOvA and DUNE. I ended up in neutrino physics randomly. I’m Italian but moved to the UK almost 10 years ago, during my final year of undergraduate studies. When I had to choose my final year project, I saw there was one about neutrinos. At the time I didn’t know what neutrinos were. So I went on Wikipedia and looked it up, went to a meeting with the person who would become my supervisor, and thought it was all really cool. I have stuck with neutrinos since then.
