Didactic activity
I have been teaching assistant (with blackboard lessons, review sessions, examination sessions) for several undergraduate courses.
From 2006 to 2011 I have been teaching assistant for 8 one-semester courses in Rational Mechanics and 1 course in Applied Mathematics at the Engineering Faculty of University of Bologna.
In 2012-2013 I have been teaching assistant for a Calculus course at the Engineering Faculty of University of Pavia.
In 2014-2016 I led Exercise Courses in:
Linear Algebra (2014, summer semester)
Modeling (2015, winter semester)
Stochastic (2015, summer semester)
Real Analysis in several variables and Complex Analysis in one variable (2015, sommer semester)
Algebra (2016, summer semester)
Stochastic (2016, summer semester)
for bachelor students at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna.
In the winter semester 2016-2017 I led a Lecture Course in Continuum Mechanics for master's students at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna.
