Main Research Fields
My main research interests focus on high-energy observations of Active Galactic Nuclei. I have recently used X-ray observations of nearby Seyfert galaxies to study: a) the ionization mechanism of the Narrow Line Regions; b) the location and dynamics of optically-thick gas and dust in the innermost ~pc around supermassive black holes. Moreover, I have been carried out XMM-Newton observation of a radio-selected complete z
