ABOUT ME

I am a simple and easygoing person.

I grew up in Italy and I moved to Switzerland in 2010. After a PhD in physics and couple of years in academia as a postdoc researcher I felt that my life needed a big change. I now work as a maths and physics teacher in a high school and I get every day more convinced I did a good choice.

I love to spend my free time doing several interesting things, taking care of CSs coming from all over the world is one of those :-)

PHILOSOPHY

With whoever you meet, you take a little bit from that person, whether you know them for a day or for twenty years, and that little bit makes you a better person. Even if a moment is gone, everything exists for eternity in the memory of the universe and in our memory.
