The beauty of symmetries: from boiling water to black holes
I am Agnese, I grew up in Italy but I have been living in few countries before landing in Sweden. I am a theoretical physicist, who dreams to understand how to describe our universe and to spot similarities among different systems. I find formulas fascinating but I cannot say I truly understand something until I don’t manage to explain it: that’s why I am here!
