I am Lorenzo Malanga, a PhD student of the XL cycle (starting in October 2024), in the Stars and Planet Formation research group, under the supervision of Prof. Giovanni Rosotti and the co-supervision of Prof. Giuseppe Lodato.
My research focuses on understanding the evolution of protoplanetary discs with the tool of population synthesis. In my PhD project I test the theoretical models by generating synthetic populations of discs and comparing them to the observed samples. In particular, I focus on the impact of internal photoevaporation on the evolution of protoplanetary discs.
