​

Observing Experience:

​

I have built consolidated experience in coordinating different (both ground based and space) observatories for simultaneous multi-wavelength campaigns on both Low Mass X-ray binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei. Most of my observations with ESO have been carried out in Designated Visitor mode (DVM) using HAWK-I in fastPhot mode .

​

I am PI of 6 joint XMM-Newton/VLT programs (total 26h), with the aim to study the fast multi-wavelength variability from accreting black holes and neutron stars. I am PI also of 4 ESO VLT programs (total 17 h) to support larger multi-wavelength campaigns which include X-rays and radio observations. Recently, I have also guided AGN monitoring programs with the Liverpool Telescope (total 28h).

​

Co-I of 20+ programs with different facilities, which include: ALMA, Astrosat, JWST, HST, INTEGRAL, LCO, LT, Nicer, Swift, VLA, VLT, XMM-Newton
