I also started a preliminary study on the production of exotica states in p-Pb collisions and I supervised a summer student working together with me on this topic. During 2016 I also took part in the data taking operations and maintenance of the SDD detector of the ALICE experiment. Profiting from the course in parallel and distributed computing I also started the development on GPU of the tracking algorithm for the ITS Upgrade of ALICE.
