Outreach activities
I took part on the organization of last year's festival in Brussels. I was part of the Atoms to Galaxies team. As team members, our duties consist of finding a venue for the 3-days event, finding sponsorship for renting the place and all the material needed and engaging interesting speakers in the field. In our event, we invited 6 speakers (2 per day) ranging from professors to researchers and PhD students from VUB and ULB Universities in Brussels. I had the enormous privilege to help prepare some of the speakers' presentations by giving them insights into what to expect from a general audience. The topics we covered last year ranged from Cosmology to Standard Particle Physics and beyond: black holes, neutrinos, quarks, strings... The team is also in charge of organizing activities for the interval between talks. We put together live quizzes on the relevant scientific topics. The general feedback was very good and I'll be supporting this year's activities as well.

SpaceWeek @ École Polytechnique 2019
Outreach event at L'École Polytechnique in Paris to showcase the research done in the different departments. I was part of the team representing the Applied Math Department. Our mission was to engage Master students and answer their questions regarding our research.
I got featured on the flyer of the Doctoral School last year.
The PLS is a very informal cultural event, aimed at knowledge sharing between diverse scientific and technical disciplines. It's organized among friends on a yearly basis.
I had the opportunity, along with all the other Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) from the UTOPIAE network, to showcase some aspects of our research in the Glasgow Science Centre. We prepared diverse games and live demos on how aerodynamic principles work. The audience was mainly composed by kids of different ages (5-12 years old).
