General Relativity

Andrea Di Pompeo's BSc defense

Congratulations to Andrea Di Pompeo, who today successfully defended his BSc thesis, by the title of “Correlazioni EPR in spaziotempo curvo”, which translates to “EPR correlations in curved spacetime” (with the opponent being Prof. Max Rinaldi)! In his thesis which I supervised, Andrea discussed the effects of spacetime curvature on non-local quantum correlations between entangled pairs of spins, with a focus on Bell-type correlations (and in particular CHSH correlations), a work far from trivial for a BSc student.

Giada Daldoss' BSc thesis defense

Congratulations to Giada Daldoss, who today successfully defended her BSc thesis (for the BSc degree in Mathematics), by the title of “Nozioni di base di Relatività Generale con applicazioni al problema dell’Energia Oscura”, which translates to “Basic notions of General Relativity with applications to the Dark Energy problem” (with the opponent being Prof. Valter Moretti)! In her thesis which I supervised, Giada introduced basic concepts of General Relativity, before discussing the most important observational indications of Dark Energy.
