My professional journey began at Sapienza University where I obtained my medical degree in 2009. Rather than progressing into a specialist medical practice, my passion for research led me to pursue a Ph.D. in Neurophysiology under the esteemed guidance of Prof. Giorgio Cruccu. 

During my doctoral studies I have managed several research protocols addressing mainly the clarification of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the 

different types of neuropathic pain, with a focus on paroxysmal pain, collected in the 

Ph.d thesis entitled “What’s behind neuropathic pain? Neurophysiological diagnostic tests investigating mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain.” 

I hold the position of a researcher in Neurophysiology at the Department of Human Neuroscience at Sapienza University where I employ an array of neurophysiological diagnostic tools, including evoked potentials, nerve conduction studies, electromyography, trigeminal reflexes, quantitative sensory testing, and threshold tracking, striving to advance our understanding of neuropathic pain with a particular effort in defining novel diagnostic approaches as well as novel neurophysiological biomarkers. My clinical background has enabled me to focus my research on addressing the challenges faced by patients with both acute and chronic pain conditions. 

In recognition of my unwavering commitment to the field, I was recently honored with the appointment as Chair of the Special Interest Group on Pain (PAINterest) of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology.
