I’m beyond honored to have been included in the Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers 2025 list! Each year, this award by Clarivate recognizes those who over the past eleven years have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their fields of research, roughly including the top 0.1% of the most influential researchers. Out of 104 total researchers based in Italian institutions, this year as many as 7 researchers from the University of Trento made it into the list, which is one of the highest figures in Italy, itself rather impressive considering we are a medium-sized University: see this UniTrentoMag piece. While this award officially recognizes the impact of my research, I stress that this would not have been possible without the contribution of my outstanding collaborators, so a huge thanks to all of them, including my amazing research group in Trento!
