Over the years, I have taught several mathematical and financial courses, at all university levels and also for professionals, including online education, a field in which I consider myself a pioneer.
I like teaching and interacting with students. From their feedback I often get inspiring ideas for my research and work.
I believe that a good university researcher also needs to be a good teacher, who must be capable to express complex concepts and ideas in a clear and direct way. A good academic researcher should indeed not only be able to discover new results and communicate them to the scientific community, but also to make them available to a broader audience.
Teaching is a fantastic opportunity to foster students’ curiosity and interests, to make them get the maximum out of their studies, and to discover who may be interested in continuing his/her career in research.
In teaching, I like to combine new technologies, such as videos, podcasts, interactive talks and computer simulations, with more traditional pedagogical tools (front lectures, case studies, and the old reliable blackboard).
As a student I never liked detached professors, who seemed not to care about me and my understanding of the course topics. For these reasons, I always try to be a supportive teacher and I am always ready to help students in facing their difficulties. I only ask my students to be proactive: you only learn if you are willing to. If you do not understand something, just ask!
Here below a list of courses I have developed and taught since 2010.
For my online teaching, have a look here.
I have also created more than a dozen of courses for companies and professionals, answering their needs for training in machine learning, data analysis and risk management. Interested? Contact me.
So far, I have supervised 24 bachelor students and 75 master students in mathematics, statistics and risk management.
