Neuroscience Tutors

During my PhD at Barts Cancer Institute I successfully supervised Masters and Undergraduate students for Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, all of whom obtained either at least a Merit or a First Class degree, respectively.

I have presented research at national and international academic conferences, for which I have received recognition and awards. Additionally, I have published numerous peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, including two first author publications.

I've started my journey in Physics at La Sapienza university of Rome, studying Astrophysics during my BSc, then Theoretical Physics for my MSc, graduating in 2014 with an experimental thesis on beta-amyloids, the fibrils causing Alzheimer's disease. Following my interest in the Neuroscience field, for my PhD work I focused on neurorehabilitation from spinal cord injury, producing a computational model of the locomotor neural network in humans and rats. Now I'm back working on theoretical physics focusing on quantum field theory.

My main strengths are theoretical physics, basic physics (classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics), quantum and statistical mechanics, matter physics, computational physics (mainly Python and Neuron) and Neuroscience. I'm also interested in the cognitive side of neuroscience, mostly in unexplained phenomena such as sleep paralysis and in memory systems.

Since 2019 I've been also working as a proofreader for MSc and PhD theses and I've been a scientific advisor for an MA Choreography thesis at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, London.

My motivation for science, coupled with my ambition has led me to pursing a research career in the biosciences that I hope will lead to teaching the next generation of scientists. I have written for the Imperial College student newspaper, Felix, to convey interesting and relevant ideas in medical biology. I have obtained a thorough understanding of biology, chemistry and biochemistry during my six years of higher education. My strengths lie in my communication and clarity with students, detailed understanding of biological and chemical sciences and analysis of examination questions to devise appropriate answers.
