Mentoring

  • Mar. 2022, Co-supervisor of Lorenzo Merli’s master thesis. Lorenzo looked at the evolution of the properties of Population III stars that can generate merging binary black holes at high redshift.

  • Dec. 2021, Co-supervisor of Roberta Rufolo’s master thesis. Roberta explored the impact of various prescritpions modelling the spin distributions of binary black holes detectable with LIGO-Virgo inteferometers. My main task was to guide her through the various functionalities of our codes.

Outreach

  • Sep 27, 2024, volunteer at SHARPER24

  • Sep. 19, 2024, Tutte le direzioni della luce. The stunning island of Sant’Antioco provided the perfect setting for our discussions on the Sun and Moon. The event was organised by Ottovolante Sulcis in collaboration with IDeAS.

  • Outreach lectures on Physics and Astrophysics to high school classes:
    • Mar. 25, 2024, “Alessandro Volta” high school, Pescara, Italy
    • Jan. 25, 2024, “Albert Einstein” high school, Teramo, Italy

  • An outreach article presenting the research I conducted during my PhD was published in the Giornale di Astronomia, Vol. 50.

  • Sep. 29, 2023, volunteer at SHARPER23
    Everything ready for the kilonova esperiment :)

  • Nov. 27, 2020, Night of Researchers. The 2020 Night of Researchers was followed by more than 500 people. I briefly introduced the gravitational wave topic and gave some short updates of my research work. At this link you can find the full recording.

  • Oct. 2018 - Mar. 2020, Guide for the Museum of History of Physics. I have been a guide for the Museum of History of Physics of the University of Padova. The visits were meant for both elementary and high school students
