This is me in action during the Researchers' Night
(Perugia, September 2015).
Hard Skills in Research
Experimental skills
-
Daily experience of the non-linear phenomena involving photochemical reactions, photo-physical processes (such the up-conversion of incoherent light), oscillating reactions and chemo-hydrodynamic events.
-
Daily experience of both the steady-state and time-resolved UV-visible absorption and emission techniques. The time-resolution reaches the femto-second scale.
-
Experience of the synthesis of solid inorganic oxides used as catalysts for water splitting and their structural and photophysical characterization.
-
Temporary use of other spectroscopic techniques, such as InfraRed, Raman, X-ray diffraction for solid powders, H-NMR, and chromatographic techniques (especially HPLC).
Computational skills
-
Daily analysis and modeling of the non-linear dynamics involved in physical and chemical processes by MatLab, Origin Professional, and XPPAUT software.
-
Analysis of aperiodic and chaotic time-series by using TISEAN software.
-
Prediction of chaotic time-series by Fuzzy logic and Artificial Neural Networks inplemented in MatLab.
-
Analysis of transient spectroscopic signals by using the Maximum Entropy Method implemented in MemExp software.
-
Use of Gaussian for quantum-mechanical simulations.
-
Experience of COMSOL software and the operative system UNIX.
Hard Skills in Teaching
-
Experience in teaching Physical Chemistry and Photochemistry through lectures and experiments in a chemical laboratory and computational experiments.
-
Experience in teaching the interdisciplinary subject of Complex Systems through lectures and laboratory and computational experiments.
-
Experience in teaching in Italian and English.
-
Experience in communicating the interdisciplinary investigation of Complex Systems, Physical Chemistry, and Photochemistry to a non-specialized audience, students of low and high schools.
