Hi 👋 My name is Dario Cafasso Maglio

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

My research delves into the building blocks of our most fundamental theories, specifically focusing on gravitating quantum systems. Driven by profound curiosity, I am deeply fascinated by the interplay between science, philosophy, and art. Outside the lab, I am passionate about exploring nature and engaging with diverse cultures and societies. This perspective fuels my commitment to Open Knowledge , Curiosity-Driven Learning, the Slow Science Movement, which I believe are essential for building a more inclusive and sustainable society.

• 🏫 I am a PhD student in Quantum Technologies between Naples and Florence.
• 👀 My interests are Quantum Mechanics, Gravity and Statistical Physics.
• 🌱 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 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 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.
