Title:	Status and future of primordial features: from the CMB to non-linear scales
Date:	Wed, Jun 24, 2026, 13:30 - 15:00
Place:	Seminar Room A
Remarks:	Mario is a cosmologist interested in different areas at the interface of theory, phenomenology, and data analysis. Data-wise his primary focus is on Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and large-scale structure (LSS) data. In particular, he is interested in how combinations and cross-correlations between CMB and LSS can fully bring into play the synergy between these two probes. He studies the phenomenology of cosmic inflation, primordial features, and scalar-tensor modified gravity theories through the use of precision cosmological and astrophysical data. Mario has been core-team member of the Planck Collaboration and member of the CORE Collaboration. Currently, he is a member of the Euclid Collaboration, in particular of the working group on cross-correlations between cosmic microwave background anisotropies and large-scale structure surveys and of the theory working group. He is also a member of the LiteBIRD Collaboration contributing to the studies for cosmic inflation.
