XXXIII CICLO

Giada CORRIASStudio dei cicli di percezione-azione in ambienti di realtà virtuale (PON Ricerca e Innovazione; tutor: Prof. Giovanni Bonaiuti, Prof.ssa Rachele Fanari)

Graduated in 2014 in the Master’s Degree course in “Developmental and dynamic-relational Psychology”, in 2018 she obtained a PON-RI PhD Scholarship (Research and Industrial Innovation – XXXIII cycle) with which she started the research project called “Study of perception-action cycles in immersive virtual reality environments “. This project aims to analyze and study the perception-action cycles in the context of the Human Computation Interface through a series of experiments in order to create effective immersive virtual reality environments intended for the training/teaching of procedures, and for the characteristics analysis of the users that can influence their effectiveness.

Thanks to the collaborations with INFORA company and to the staff of the Lawrence Technological University in Detroit she worked on the develop of Virtual Kitchen (VK), a modular 3D “virtual laboratory” in which subject’s activities and behaviors can be observed, recorded and measured in order to test the interaction of different categories of variables and their effects on procedural learning, presence and immersion.

She’s also involved in the development of a Virtual Reality “Game with a Purpose” called CICLOPS, a Citizen Science project that target the analysis of deep space signals recorded by radio telescopes using a human computation approach.

Marco David DOZZI, The Self-Dissociations of Consciousness in Sartre’s Early and Middle Philosophy (tutor: Prof. Pierpaolo Ciccarelli)

Fabrizia Giulia GARAVAGLIA, A situated approach to consciousness in learning processes (tutor: Prof. Marco Giunti)

My main research experience is focussed on the field of mind philosophy, epistemology, and philosophy of science. I have been working as a researcher in the PhD program of Cagliari University. I trained and developed my expertise in the optimisation of the notion of consciousness in different ways of learning, neural and cognitive, and their multimodal characterisation to improve their processing, working in collaboration with many colleagues from philosophical, medical and neurophysiological institutions. I explored the notions of identity and action, working in an international research program at Exeter University, particularly in conjunction with extended mind theory and embodied cognition theory. I improved my knowledge in the neural field working in an international research program between three different prolific research realities at Lisbon University, in order to try to connect neural and cognitive learning processes. I focus on a situated and timing-based perspective, exploring synchronic structures of neural activations and their possible meaning and extensions.

Rita ESPOSITO (tutor: Prof. Giuliano Vivanet)

Rita Esposito is a school principal. Her research interests concern Language teaching with particular regard to grammar.

The answerable research question to which the doctoral project intends to respond is the possibility of identifying effective strategies to improve the teaching of Italian grammar in first cycle schools.

In first instance, she intends to conduct a systematic review of the international literature on the problem, referring the research to school contexts similar to those under study and therefore referring to students of the age group 8-13 years in the learning phase of the L1. The review will be integrated by the study of the Italian context and will have as its objective the definition of the protocol of a wide-ranging experimentation, which allows to obtain useful data for a substantial generalization and the setting up of an EB experimental program based on effective teaching strategies.

 

Andres Camilo GRANDA ARANGO (tutor: Prof. Giuseppe Sergioli; co-tutors: Dott. Gustavo Martin Bosyk, Dott. Federico Hernan Holik)

I got my master degree in Physics at the University of Antioquia-Colombia, with a thesis entitled “Asymptotic quantum mechanics for N coupled oscillators”. Since then, I am a PhD scholar at the University of Cagliari. My field of research includes the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, particularly focused on the problem of how is the connection that exists between two apparently different theories: classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. My recent contributions are subject to the creation of a new mathematical formalism, called asymptotic quantum mechanics, based on probability density, asymptotic behaviors and Fourier transforms, which has allowed to recover classical probability densities plus quantum-like corrections in physical systems such as the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, particles enclosed in flat and spherical wells, free fall and recently in particles with relativistic characteristics. The current goal of my research is to incorporate machine learning. That is, using machine learning techniques, we will focus on the classification problem to try to discern whether certain states that a source has are intertwined or not, whether they exhibit coherence or not, or whether that particular quantum system was able to reach its classical limit.

Andrea SPANO, Educazione professionale e formazione umana tra teoria e pratica (tutor: Prof.ssa Claudia Secci)

Matteo VAROLI, Le matematiche nella letteratura pseudopitagorica (tutor: Prof.ssa Elisabetta Cattanei)

In 2018, I graduated in Classical Philology from Università degli Studi di Genova, with a dissertation on the treatise On the Nature of the Cosmos and the Soul, falsely attributed to Timaeus of Locri. I am currently a PhD student of Philosophy at Università degli Studi di Cagliari; the aim of my research project, which consists of a collection, translation and commentary on Greek and Latin fragments and testimonia, is to investigate sources for Hellenistic and Post-Hellenistic Pythagorean mathematics, especially in the Pythagorean Apocrypha, meaning by this term the field of knowledge which the Ancients called mathemata, namely arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy, with a glance to practical disciplines such as optics and mechanics, and even to what we consider as pseudo-sciences, arithmology and astrology. I’ve recently published an article (on Lexis 2019) dealing with some Pythagorean Apocrypha (Archytas, On Intelligence and Sense Perception; Brotinos; Aresas; Ekkelos) linked to the Platonist exegesis of Plato’s Republic. I’ve also given a talk in an international context, during the 10th edition of the Atelier “Pseudopythagorica” promoted by CNRS and LabEx Hastec in Paris (October 2nd, 2019), on questions about physics, astronomy, and exegesis in the treatise On the Nature of the Cosmos and the Soul. Amongst my research interests, there are ancient physics, cosmology and metaphysics, Pythagoreanism, Neopythagoreans, Pythagorean Apocrypha, the history of Platonism and the Old Academy, history of ancient sciences, music, arithmetic and astronomy, tradition and exegesis of philosophical and mathematical texts in Antiquity, pseudepigraphy in the Greek and Roman world.
