Claudia grew up in Milan, Northern Italy, enjoying both the city life and the proximity to the Alps. She got her Bachelor and Master in physics from University of Milan, and her Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics from Boston University. Her thesis focused on out-of-equilibrium aspects of cold quantum gases. At Yale, Claudia does research with Professor Steven Girvin, studying the many-body physics of systems of quantum bits. Claudia’s current position as a Helmsley Teaching Scholar allows her to develop her passion for teaching and education. She is committed to find the optimal recipe to teach physics effectively to a variety of students’ backgrounds and to improve the experience of undergraduate students at Yale in STEM fields.
