Teaching

  • Aug. 2024, Lecturer at “Cosmological History: from Gravitational Waves to Exoplanets”. Click here to access lecture material on GW astrophysics. (4 hours + hands-on sections)

  • Nov. 2021, Physics Lab assistant. I supported students that learnt basic programming skills for data analysis in C++ (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 (12 h/yr)

  • Nov. 2020, Physics Lab assistant. I supported students that learnt basic programming skills for data analysis in C++ (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

  • Mar. 25, 2024, Outreach lecture on gravitational wave astrophysics to several classes of the “Alessandro Volta” High School, Pescara, Italy

  • Mar. 2024, Following my receipt of the 2023 Tacchini prize, an outreach article presenting the research I conducted during my PhD was published in the Giornale di Astronomia, Vol. 50. You can donwloand a copy of this article (only in Italian).

  • Jan. 25, 2024, Outreach lecture on Physics and Sustainability to one class of the “Albert Einstein” High School (Teramo, Italy) visiting the GSSI.

  • 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
