Teaching

I am an adjunct Professor at the Physics Department of the University of Torino where I have taught undergraduate- and graduate-level courses on interdisciplinary Physics and Data Science. I also teach at the Data Science Master's program of the Sapienza University in Rome. I was a member of the Academic Board of the first Italian PhD program in Data Science and Computation, at the University of Bologna. I am a member of the Scientific Board of the PhD in Data Science of Sapienza University, and a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Data Science Master of the University of Trento.
