Teaching and Mentoring

Teaching

  • Aug. 6, 2024, Hands-on section on cosmo$\mathcal{R}$ate. Click here to access lecture material. Universidad Andrés Bello, Santiago, Chile. (2 hours)

  • Aug. 2024, Lecturer of the course “Gravitational Wave Astrophysics” during the school “Cosmological History: from Gravitational Waves to Exoplanets”. Click here to access lecture material. ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP, São Paulo, Brazil. (4 hours + hands-on sections)

  • Nov. 2021, Physics Lab assistant. I supported students during learning of basic programming skills for data analysis in C++. Univeristy of Padova, Italy. (20 h/yr)

  • Jun. 2021, Laboratory of Computational Astrophysics. I tutored a group of three students that completed a project using cosmo$\mathcal{R}$ate. Univeristy of Padova, Italy. (12 h/yr)

  • Nov. 2020, Physics Lab assistant. I supported students learning basic programming skills for data analysis in C++. Univeristy of Padova, Italy. (20 h/yr)

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

  • 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
