Andrea Palessandro looking across a mountain village beneath low clouds

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

Bertrand Russell

About

I am interested in the foundations of physics, a broad subject which deals with fundamental questions in fields ranging from cosmology, gravitation, and quantum physics to statistical mechanics, complexity theory, and AI. I am an advocate for interdisciplinarity, as I believe it the only viable approach for a true holistic understanding of the universe and its purpose.

My research has focused primarily on the nature of gravity, from the minimal gravitational model of dark matter and gravitational atoms to graviton–photon oscillations and the prospects for detecting individual gravitons. I am also a member of the Società Italiana di Fisica.

Alongside my academic work, I have served as a Lead Data Scientist for organizations including Deloitte, Pfizer, and Zeta. A selection of my software projects is available here and on my GitHub page.

I write poetry in my native Italian.
