I am an Assistant Professor in Physics, at the Department of Applied Science and Technology of the Polytechnic University of Turin. I study condensed and soft matter, with a special interest in thermal transport, phononic properties and liquid crystalline materials.
I attended a High School based on Classical Studies. that allowed me to appreciate Latin and Greek, Philosophy, History and Literature. I was enthusiastic about these subjects, but my passion is Physics.
At the University of Turin, Faculty of Physics, I chose the studies of Theoretical Physics, characterizing by Rational Mechanics, Structure of the Matter, Institutions of Theoretical Physics, Mathematical Methods for Physics, Relativity, Institutions of Nuclear Physics, Elementary Particle Physics, Theoretical Physics, Field Theory, Statistical Mechanics.
I am Master in Physics.
At the Polytechnic of Turin I attended the Doctorate in Physics. My tutor was Marco Omini. With him I began my research in Condensed Matter Physics (thermal transport phenomena, Boltzmann equation, role of point and extended defects in phonon scattering, thermal transport in liquids, measurements of thermal diffusivity and capacitive dilatometry).
I am Doctor of Philosophy in Physics.
With Alfredo Strigazzi, my research on thermotropic liquid crystals began. For the Liquid Crystal Laboratory, I developed a new analysis method based on image processing. Moreover, I dealt with conductive polymers and electromagnetic shielding. For the textile industry, besides my studies about shielding fabrics, I have carried out research on the use of atmospheric plasma to modify the surface properties (the same for the polymeric films used for packaging).
