MY PROFESSIONAL SIDE

I am a computational physicist at the Faculty of Technical Physics and Applied Mathematics at the Gdansk University of Technology in Poland. My research field encompasses hybrid (quantum-classical) methods for nanoscale simulations. In particular, I try to embed local tight-binding computations within a molecular-dynamics framework in order to simulate - in metallic systems - the processes of ultra-precision machining, nanoindentation, nanoscratching, the twisting and breaking of nanowires and similar phenomena.

Working as an assistant means I have some teaching duties. The classes I teach mostly revolve around Computer science, as even though we are a Physics faculty, we offer Applied Informatics as a field of study.

From time to time I also teach foreign students as part of the Socrates/Erasmus programme. My lectures include Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural Networks, Parallel Processing and Parallel I/O in MPI-2. I also led a laboratory of Didattica di Elaborazione Dati at the University of Macerata (Italy).
