Theaching experience
Teaching
I started my teaching activities in 2007, during my doctoral studies at the
University of Trento. In this University I got a contract for 40 hours of tutoring
for the students of the first year of “Laurea Triennale” (Bachelor degree). My
tutoring activity consisted in proposing to the students and solving together
with them, within an open discussion, some exercises focused on the subjects
treated in the first courses of the Bachelor (Mechanics, Thermodynamics).
List of subjects treated :
Mechanics: 1) Kinematics; 2) Elementary mechanics, forces and conservation of
energy; 3) Vectorial calculus with forces; 4) Angular momentum; 5) Static and
dynamic friction. 6) Equivalence principle for inertial and non-inertial systems.
Thermodynamics: 1) Thermodynamic equilibrium; 2) First and second law of
5
thermodynamics; 3) Thermodynamic of reversibles and irreversibles transformations; 4) Carnot cycle; 5) Entropy ptoduction in irreversible transformations.
Supervisoring
During my post-docs in Rome and Paris I was the co-supervisor of three Masters degree thesis:
Roberto Trozzo (Thesis defended in February 2011). Title: Studio numerico di un liquido sottoraffreddato in geometria confinata lineare: funzione di
cor- relazione ed energia dinterfaccia. ( Eng: Numerical study of a supercooled
liquid confined in a slab geometry: correlation functions and interface energy).
Supervisors: Prof. G. Parisi, Dr. A. Cavagna.
Alessandro Manacorda (Thesis defended in Septembre 2012). Title: Un
modello di ratchet granulare con attrito. (Eng: A model of granular ratchet
with dry friction). Supervisor: Dr. A. Puglisi.
Stefano Spigler (Thesis defended in September 2014). Title ”Plaquette
models for glasses”
Conferences Organization
During my last year of post-doc in Rome I organized together with Andrea
Puglisi and Alessandro Sarracino the following international conference: Nonequilibrium fluctuation-response relations, Giglio Island, June 5th-8th, 2012.
Organizing commitee: Giacomo Gradenigo, Andrea Puglisi, Alessandro Sarracino. Scientific committee: Umberto Marini Bettolo Marconi, Lamberto Rondoni, Angelo Vulpiani.
