Experience Summary
I hold a Ph.D. in mathematics and a master in physics. I have been Assistant Professor at Columbia for the past four years. I have taught calculus 1 through 4 and Analysis 1/2 many times. My main area of expertise is Algebraic Geometry but I also have some experience in functional analysis and quantum mechanics.
Teaching Style
I try to teach my students how to derive advanced formulas and results from basic ideas, instead of relying on rote memorization. According to my experience, students who memorize math results without understanding, do not actually retain information; the kind of learning that I offer is much more permanent.
My Hobbies
Cooking (I'm italian), knitting, crochet, crafts in general.
