During my undergrad and Ph.D. I worked as teaching assistant in a variety of courses, from Physics I to General Relativity and Mathematical Methods in Physics. I have also co-advised a master's thesis in observational astronomy.
I'm interested in gravitation, compact objects, high-energy astrophysics, and foundations of science.
