Outreach

I am passionate about outreach, as it allows me to share my enthusiasm for astronomy and science. Since 2024, I have had the pleasure of helping welcome the classes of Italian high-school students that regularly come visit MPA, where I engage them with talks about my work as an astrophysicist. It's incredibly rewarding to inspire the next generation of scientists. Additionally, I enjoy contributing to the physics and astronomy Stack Exchange communities, where I have answered more than a hundred questions and helped to foster a collaborative learning environment.

I also create astrophysical artwork (see the gallery on the home page) to bring the beauty of the cosmos to anyone who wants it.
