Outreach
Lectures and experimental demonstration on optics and physics in everyday life as part of outreach activity of the organization RAYS of Rome La Sapienza:
– 12 April 2016, Liceo Scientifico Statale A. Righi, Rome
– 4 May 2016, I.I.S. G. Colasanti, Civita Castellana
– 31 May 2016, participated with demonstration stand of quantum optics and information for the event EuFactor, a project by the European Commission and European Parlament to encourage young students (16 to19 years old) to undertake studies of science and technology in higher education.
