About

I am a PhD Student ad SISSA, studying Physics and Chemistry of Biological Systems. I got my Msc in Applied Physics from University of Bologna and my Bachelor in Physics in Trieste; I spent eight months in the U.K. as an Erasmus Student, at the Loughborough University. My main scientific interests are Computational Physics, Complex Systems and Networks. I am extremely passionate about multidisciplinary research, such as Biophyisics, Languages Analysis, Crowd Behaviour, Self-Organization, Neurosciences and Econophysics. A part from research, I am very interested into Scientific Divulgation, Teaching and Epistemology. Concurrently with my University Studies, I developed my writing skills (in Italian) and won some literary award. I am a 10th grade in EWTO Wing Tsung - Kung Fu (martial arts) and I taught Wing Tsun in a Self-Defense course. I love sports, such as Skiing, Snowboarding, Sailing, Roller Skating, and I am fascinated by physical principia in sports and martial arts.

I co-operated with another instructor in order to teach Wing Tsun's basis in the "Donna, sei forte" Course (female self-defence). The Course intended to give a fast, easy and useful set of martial principia in order to allow a woman to be able to manage an aggression, which usually comes from someone stronger than her.
