Andrea grew up next to Paris, France. After his bachelor degrees in Physics and Mathematics at University of Versailles, he worked with Kamel Boukheddaden at GeMaC on the emergence of auto organized structures in classical spin systems within lattices. He then obtained his physics master’s degree at ENS-Lyon in 2019.

He joined the GQM group for his PhD at LPL, directed by Bruno Laburthe-Tolra and Martin Robert-de-Saint-Vincent, to set up an experiment designed for the study of the Heisenberg model in enlarged  SU(N)-symmetry. Using Strontium 87, he contributed to the establishment of light induced spin orbit coupling schemes to selectively tune the spin degree of freedom in degenerate Fermi gases, and to write and detect spin textures from polarized Fermi gases in square lattices, with associated minimal spin entropy.

   A few days after his defense, he joined the group of Prof. Francesca Ferlaino in early 2023, on the Dysprosium experiment.
