Hi 👋 My name is Dario Cafasso (Maglio)

I come from a little city close to Naples and study Theoretical Physics in Florence 🔭

My interest in fundamental physics is reflected in my research activity and interests, and I am fascinated by the intersection between science and society. I enjoy exploring nature and travelling, coming into contact with different cultures to discover more about my own as well. The resulting curiosity and wonder make me a supporter of Open Knowledge , Curiosity Driven Learning and accessibility of educational tools, for an advancement toward a more inclusive and sustainable society.

• 🏫 I am enrolled in a PhD program in Quantum Technologies at University Federico II, Naples.
• 👀 My interests are Statistical Physics, Quantum Field Theory and Gravity.
• 🌱 My numerical skills include Machine Learning and Monte Carlo simulations.

Living seems like a continuous change of perspective about the world, trying to capture the harmony among an uncountable number of relationships, and always looking for a permanent center of gravity. Its existence is not guaranteed, but the game of survival - driven by natural selection - has made us capable of enjoying learning, playing with the building blocks of the world.

With this in mind, I like to read books, watch movies and listen to music to experience and understand something little and new about life. I really enjoy the works of Milan Kundera, Federico Fellini and Franco Battiato, just to mention some. I keep track of my updates and make lists of related items with several apps, which also help me discover and share. I also like to learn new languages and play musical instruments. Sometimes I play chess and Go with my friends. Finally, I love to hike in natural landscapes. I'm addicted to the beauty of nature, espresso and spontaneity.

Ciò che di me sapeste

non fu che la scialbatura,

la tonaca che riveste

la nostra umana ventura.

Ed era forse oltre il telo

l'azzurro tranquillo;

vietava il limpido cielo

solo un sigillo.

O vero c'era il falòtico

mutarsi della mia vita,

lo schiudersi d'un'ignita

zolla che mai vedrò.

Restò così questa scorza

la vera mia sostanza;

il fuoco che non si smorza

per me si chiamò: l'ignoranza.

Se un'ombra scorgete, non è

un'ombra - ma quella io sono.

Potessi spiccarla da me,

offrirvela in dono.
