Talks


Communicating my research is an activity that I really enjoy. It challenges me in being creative in finding the most appropriate ways to present technical results, and it gives me the opportunity to get feedback from the audience and to discuss with researchers from all over the world about current and future investigations.

Here you can find videos of some of my talks.
