* Astrophysical Implications: Cosmic Rays and the Universe
* Advanced Topics (for the very enthusiastic): Cosmic ray astrophysics and state-of-the-art detectors used currently in the research world.


Class Format:

In the basic variant, this course will blend theory lectures with computer-based data analysis. For the very enthusiastic students, there is also a possibility to build their own particle detector.

Assessment:

Assessment will be based on a combination of individual and group projects, quizzes, data analysis reports, and a final presentation or research paper that showcases your understanding of cosmic rays, both theoretically and practically.

Prerequisites:

Curiosity! The only pre-requisite for this course is the curiosity of how our universe works, and what can we do as humans to understand it as much as possible!

Join me on this cosmic adventure, where theoretical exploration meets empirical investigation, and together, let's unravel the secrets of these cosmic messengers!

About Me

Currently I am a full time researcher in experimental particle physics, based at the university of Geneva, CH. I love particles and especially I love to explore different methods trough which we can detect them.

During my continuous education I designed and constructed tens of detectors, passing my knowledge to students with various backgrounds: from pharmacy/business to highly specialised physics master/Ph.D. student.

I love to talk about research and the universe itself, and I consider that the only moment when research reaches its goal is when knowledge is successfully passed towards the younger generations.

During my career I have been based (and still am) at several world leading institutes, including CERN and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI).

Outside research, my life revolves around cycling and mountain biking, having obtained the title of national champion at amateur level in my country.

Education

BSc/MSci -> University of Birmingham, UK:

Here I obtained the title of master in particle phyiscs and cosmology. My masters project involved acquiring data in a more efficient way at one of the biggest experiments from CERN: NA62.

Ph.D -> University of Geneva, CH.

Based in the particle physics (neutrino) group, here I designed, constructed, and analsed the data of a novel particle detector with improved resolution.

Experience / Qualifications

Tutoring in physics and mathematics, primary to university level
During a regular school curriculum, the material to be assimilated can be considerable, so much so that many concepts are only understood superficially, just enough to pass an exam. In my opinion, it is essential to establish a solid foundation before building new knowledge. The course is therefore structured as follows: - Review of relevant physical and mathematical concepts prior to the course. - Course overview: We identify the key concepts, what is well understood and less well understood by the student, in which case misunderstandings are addressed. - Practice: We put new concepts into practice through a series of exercises aimed at anchoring the learning. - Summary: I like to conclude each session with a discussion where the roles are reversed: the student explains the concepts covered in their own words. It is often by trying to teach in turn that we highlight our misunderstandings — and really consolidate our knowledge! "If you cannot explain something simply, it is because you have not understood it well." - Albert Einstein - Written record: I give lessons via videoconference, with a tablet and stylus as a visual aid. Notes are taken on Notability and are shared at the end of the session.
