Era tutto pronto oggi x lo school day alla scuola primaria Govi a Genova, come di consueto da anni. Ricercatori IIT con esperimenti, docenti e alunni entusiasti, mille manleve e permessi. Ma il dirigente scolastico, sollecitato da mesi, si dimentica di concedere autorizzazione 🤦🏽

I’ll be soon (end of May) having openings for three PhD positions at Politecnico di Milano, one in physics, two in materials engineering. More details will follow as soon as the call will be open.

I really enjoyed Tuesday's evening in Freising together with friends and collaborators like TeresaPellegrino, Y Lan Pham, Athanasia Kostopoulou, Liberato Manna and Jonathan Beauchamp after BRIDGE_EU_project meeting.

We have an opening for a postdoctoral position in nanocrystals spectroscopy:

Nice joint work coordinated by Lakshminarayana Polavarapu

An impressive book, by the same author of “visual complex analysis”, this time on differential geometry, explained even by cutting stripes on the surface of vegetables! A captivating read demonstrating the fun side of math (well, geometry here) & its deep connections with physics

The call is out

Inorganic chemistry: perhaps the most beautiful area of chemistry, at the crossroad of many disciplines. So rich and always evolving!
A great book to start with is this one.

We welcome Ajeet Singh Ajeet Singh and Zhanzhao Li as new individual Marie Skłodowska Curie MarieSkłodowskaCurie fellows in our group!
Apply to this fellowship with IIT as host institution. We provide ample support during proposal drafting! In the last call we had a 25% success rate!

The better you treat your group members, the more they will give you back, not only in terms of productivity, but especially in terms of affection. You will create a lifelong link with them. You will build a community.

Great reunion with my former group members Baowei Zhang, Ying Liu and Jinfei Dai in Zhengzhou

Today I joined the Association of ERC awardees in Italy ERC in Italy APS!
Looking forward to giving my contribution to promote fundamental and frontier research in Italy!!!

We should evaluate candidates primarily by what they actually know and not necessarily by what they have published. Do not look too much at CVs. Instead, engage in deep interviews with the candidates.

I am not sure the US realize the damage they are doing first of all to themselves by denying visas to highly qualified Chinese students and researchers. It will not only deprive themselves of great talents, but will also exacerbate a cultural divide that will grow over the years.
