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.

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.

OTTAVIA: I DATI INTORNO A NOI

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.

Research dissemination

I help research groups and institutions plan the communication and dissemination of their results. Example: I am in charge of the science communication of ON-AIR: Artificial Intelligence and Integrated Omics for Precision Oncology. I have designed the website, the visual assets, planned the communication strategy, and coordinated all players in its execution.

Information design

I build websites, infographics, and interactive tools to organize information and facilitate insight. Example: as the science communication officer of QBio, I have designed the “Services” page of the Italian node of MIRRI, the Italian microbial resource research infrastructure. The page serves as an entry point to a variety of different tools and services offered by the many partners of the project.

Training

I develop training courses and workshops for both students and researchers on topics related to science communication, data visualization, and mathematics. Example: as an activity of OttaviaLAB, I have planned and delivered a statistics and data visualization course for high school students.

Publishing

I write for and edit textbooks for high school mathematics. I prepare exercises, supplementary materials, and activities.

Science visuals

I design bespoke illustrations and animations for research institutions. Example: I have developed the visual identity of the “Butterfly effect” campaign of the International Center for Theoretical Physics (see the Portfolio tab).

Digital communication

I plan and executive editorial plans for institutional social media accounts. Example: I am in charge of the social media accounts of QBio and Laboratorio Nazionale InfoLife.
