Davide Bufalini

Quant at Energy Aspects with a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.

My academic background includes a BSc in Physics (Distinction) and a 2-year MSc in Theoretical Physics (Distinction) from Rome, Italy. My PhD focused on String Theory and Black Holes.

I won several prizes, including the STAG prize for the best publication in High-Energy Physics, and the Stanev Prize for the best Master's thesis in Theoretical Physics at the Italian national level. During my university studies, I was selected for the Excellence Program in Physics in Rome. I have been on the national record for Italian Excellences of the Italian Ministry of Education since 2014.
