simone ramello

Ciao! I’m Simone, a science communicator specializing in mathematics and quantitative sciences.

I have a PhD in mathematics from the Cluster of Excellence “Mathematics Münster”, in Germany. I was part of the 2024-2025 cohort of the Postgraduate Certificate in science communication of the International School in Advanced Studies, in Trieste.

Research dissemination

I collaborate with research groups (QBio) and institutions (ICTP, CMCC) to assist with communicating their research in a broad sense. I often rely on visual and creative science communication, like illustrations or animations.

Education and training

I develop school activities, workshops, and training programs in mathematics, statistics, and science communication. I have recently completed my first school activity on data visualization, as part of OttaviaLAB.

Publishing and writing

I also work as an editor and writer for mathematics textbooks, particularly for secondary high school. I occasionally write article and explanatory pieces on science and mathematics for online outlets.

ILLUSTRATION

The illustration was printed on the 2025 greetings cards used by researchers and staff of the International Center for Theoretical Physics. It mixed an hand-drawn illustration with a real picture of ICTP’s iconic terrace.

I designed four infographics on historically sidelined mathematicians from the Global South. The infographics were used as an exhibit at ICTP’s 2025 TriesteNext booth.

ANIMATION

I designed the visual identity for the very first fundraising campaign of the International Center for Theoretical Physics, which included three different hand-made animations to accompany calls to action and newsletters.

I designed the logo for Francesca Radicioni’s science communication project Punto di non ritorno.

WEB DESIGN AND VISUAL IDENTITY

As the science communication officer for the Quantitative Biology group, I am responsible for the web design of its website and the visual identity of the group. In particular, I have designed posters for events organized by the group and logos for the computational tools developed by its researchers.

High school

Together with Daniela Volpatto, I designed a series of workshops for high-school students on data-driven decision making and data visualizations. The project was supported by SISSA and the Comune di Trieste.
