Since 2003 I work for the Swiss National Supercomputing Center in Lugano among supercomputers and scientists. My job is to make visible the numbers that supercomputers produce day and night transforming them into images, thus helping scientists to “see the unseen” hidden in the results of their simulations.

But I’m also a father that sent my son to a Montessori school on an act of faith because my knowledge of the method was a solid zero. What was the “quid” that make me decide? Then my son’s stories revealed a reality I was not expecting and, as a scientist, I decided to investigate. The result? Now I’m a Montessori enthusiast helping parents to discover why it works so well and to help them understand the solid scientific foundations it rests.
