On the 19th of August 2024, we welcomed three Masters’ interns to the Theory team under the Aurora Excellence Fellowship program! Gianlorenzo De Filippo, Matteo Olimpo and Giuseppe Puca will be with us for 3 weeks working on projects about supersolidity and lattice physics.
Gianlorenzo is from Formia in Italy and he is a Master degree student in astrophysics at the University of Naples Federico II. For the AURORA project he will be studying the supersolid phase transition in quantum gases and its relation to neutron star glitches.
Matteo was born on December 1, 2001, in Naples, Italy. He began his studies in physics in 2020 at the University of Naples Federico II, where he graduated in 2023 with a thesis on percolation theory. He is currently studying for a master’s degree in theoretical physics at the same university.
Giuseppe was born on October 19, 2001, in Naples, Italy. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Naples Federico II on October 2, 2023, with a thesis on the derivation of the Unruh effect using Feynman’s path integral formulation. He continued his studies in Naples, where he is currently enrolled in the Master’s degree program in Physics with a specialization in Theoretical Physics. Since 2020, he has been a student in the Ordinary Course in “Cosmology, Space Science, and Space Technologies” at the Scuola Superiore Meridionale in Naples. His current interests include statistical mechanics, complex systems, quantum many-body systems, quantum field theory and numerical methods.
