Congratulations to Alessandro La Sala, who today successfully defended his BSc thesis (for the BSc degree in Mathematics), by the title of “Relatività Generale: uno studio della soluzione di Schwarzschild e applicazioni”, which translates to “General Relativity: a study of the Schwarzschild solution and applications” (with the opponent being Prof. Sonia Mazzucchi)! In his thesis which I supervised, Alessandro discussed some basic aspects of General Relativity, before turning to features of the Schwarzschild solution.
