The Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge (KICC) 2021 annual report is finally out: www.kicc.cam.ac.uk/files/kicc2021_report_medium.pdf
I feature in various entries, especially a research piece on direct detection of dark energy written together with Anne Davis (Pages 37-38). Enjoy the read (and thanks to KICC for having sent me a physical copy), and I guess this is me officially signing off from Cambridge!

Moving (back) to the University of Trento!
I’m extremely happy to announce that I’m moving back to the University of Trento, where I will soon start a new position as tenure-track Assistant Professor (RTDb in the Italian system)! I’m very excited not only about returning to my home country, Italy, but specifically to the University of Trento, which is where I got my Bachelor’s degree back in 2012. Those who know me know that this was by far my dream job: returning to my alma mater, where my journey in physics began, really feels like the closing of a huge circle, not to mention that Trento itself is a fantastic place to live in. Incidentally, the official offer arrived precisely on my last day as a Newton-Kavli Fellow at the University of Cambridge - which I started exactly on October 7, 2019 - which, besides the perfect timing, confirms the non-written rule that virtually all Cambridge Kavli Fellowship holders move on to a permanent or tenure-track position immediately afterwards 😉 I really can’t wait to get started!
