Teaching

MOOC

In 2025, within the Digital Education Hub Edvance, I authored the MOOC Sempre connessi - Dietro le quinte di Internet on computer networks.


Current courses

I teach courses on Computer Networks and Green Computing, which I approach as spaces for experimentation through heuristic and active learning methods that foster students' autonomy and curiosity.
