New Perspectives in Science Education
Daniela Paoletti
Institution: INAF OAS Bologna
Country: Italy
Daniela Paoletti is a cosmologist, studying the birth of the Universe, but also an artist, classical and digital with the pseudonym Peracturus, and participates to outreach and education for astrophysics activities.
Daniela took her bachelor in 2004 in Astronomy at the University of Bologna, her master in 2007 in Astrophysics and Cosmology always in Bologna. She got her PhD in Astroparticle physics at the University of Ferrara in 2011 and in “Particules, noyaux et cosmologie” at the Université de Paris Diderot always in 2011. In August 2014 graduated in the annual specialization course “Theory and method of using multimedia technologies in teaching: address to the scientific subject area of the secondary school” at the University for foreigners "Dante Alighieri" of Reggio Calabria (Italy). In 2018 completed the courses: “Psychology of learning”, “Theory and methods of design and didactic evaluation” and “Cultural anthropology” at the University for foreigners "Dante Alighieri" of Reggio Calabria (Italy).
Daniela is currently a fixed term researcher in the National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF) at the Observatory of Astrophysics and Space science in Bologna on the LiteBIRD project, a future satellite to observe the sky in microwaves. She has been previously in INAF Bologna since her PhD in 2011 through various contracts and projects with a strong involvement in the Planck satellite.
Daniela is an expert in the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation, the first light of the Universe, and in the quest for the origin of cosmic magnetism. In parallel with her scientific activities she’s been practicing classical arts, painting and drawing, since childhood and digital art in the past few years with also a specialized course in 3D graphics. Daniela is now involved also in outreach and education through the PLAY-INAF group of the National Institute of Astrophysics and is the main maker of the game “Bright your star” presented in 2024 at the Genova Festival in the Astro-Tamagotchi experience.
Daniela published 200 articles in peer review scientific journals see the orcid: 0000-0003-4761-6147, and has been the co-author of the cosmology chapter of the book “La corsa verso nuovi mondi. Vol. 1: Destinazioni”. 2021, curators Traballesi and Somma, La libreria geografica, ISBN 9788869854880.
Areas of expertise: Cosmology, Astrophysics, Graphics, Design, crazy ideas for outreach and education
