PhD Thesis: Physical and Projected Pairs of Quasars
(under the supervision of Treves A.).
I have investigated the properties of the cool gas and of the dark matter that surround quasars using optical spectroscpy of physical and projected quasar pairs.

MSc Thesis: Globular Cluster Systems in Virgo Cluster's Dwarf Galaxies
(under the supervision of Colpi M., Gavazzi G., and Giordano L.).
I have used multiwavelength HST and SDSS imaging to study the colors distribution of the globular cluster (GC) and of the nuclear star clusters (NSC) of dwarf galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. I have probed the effects of the cluster environment on galaxies comparing GCs' and NSCs' properties with the ones of the average galactic stellar population.

BSc Thesis: Gravitational encounters of BH binaries in globular cluster
(under the supervision of Colpi M. and Devecchi B.).
I have simulated the dynamical effects of gravitational encounters between binary black holes on the early evolution of globular clusters.
