Prin project "Non-Perturbative Aspects of Gauge Theories and Strings" (Feb 2017/ Feb 2020)
The purpose of this project is to promote the study of (supersymmetric) gauge theories and of string theory with particular emphasis on their non-perturbative aspects. The main tools that will be used to go beyond perturbation theory and get a handle on the strongly coupled dynamics are supersymmetry and holography, which both find a natural embedding in string theory. This project will be devoted to explore in particular the following topics: supersymmetric gauge theories, holography and instanton effects in gauge and string theories.

PRIN project "Search for the Fundamental Laws and Constituents" (Feb 2017/ Feb 2020)
The discovery of a light, weakly interacting Higgs particle is the crowning achievement of the Standard Model, which completes a long series of tremendous successes. In spite of this, however, most of the fundamental questions remain unanswered and provide strong theoretical reason to go beyond the SM. The main goal of this project consists in identifying coherent explanations of these different phenomena and fundamental questions by combining the vast experimental information coming from the forthcoming experiments, in particular from the LHC, with the most advanced theoretical developments.

InvisiblesPlus EU project (Feb 2016/ Jan 2020)
InvisiblesPlus is a new Horizon2020 (H2020) Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) project. The project will focus on Neutrino and Dark Matter phenomenology and their connection, with emphasis on the role of the symmetry relating matter and antimatter. Experimental and theoretical aspects are also encompassed.

ELUSIVES EU project (Feb 2016/ Jan 2020)
Elusives is a European ITN project which focuses on Neutrino and Dark Matter phenomenology and their connection. Phenomenological and theoretical aspects are also encompassed. The mission of Elusives ITN is to understand the fundamental aspects of neutrino mixng and the nature of Dark Matter and the possible connection, if any, between the two, focusing on phenomenology with the necessary link to experiment.
