I am a Physics teacher and mechanical engineer with over 25 years of experience dedicated to innovative science education and outreach. Holding a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Brescia, I have successfully combined my technical background in 3D modeling and automation with a deep passion for hands-on science teaching.

Since 2000, I have been teaching Physics at the "Don Bosco" Salesian Institute in Brescia, and I also serve as the President of the "Aghi Magnetici" scientific association, an organization committed to promoting scientific culture.  My educational career is strongly defined by an international perspective and a focus on STEM methodologies.

I have participated as both a speaker and an attendee in numerous cutting-edge professional development programs worldwide, including the International Teacher Program at CERN in Geneva and the Einstein Plus program at the Perimeter Institute in Toronto. 

Believing in inquiry-based learning and the use of low-cost materials, my educational projects have received prestigious global recognition. They have been selected for multiple editions of the European Science on Stage festival and the Start Luma Education Awards.  With this dual background as both a practical designer and an educator closely attuned to emerging technologies—including the application of AI tools in education —I bring to the judging panel a grounded, forward-thinking perspective focused on assessing the pedagogical impact, creativity, and real-world viability of innovative educational projects.
