1 During
my undergraduate studies (2009-2010), I’ve been active in the field of analogue gravity and general relativity in collaboration with Profs. F. Belgiorno, S. Cacciatori, D. Faccio and V. Gorini and in other projects with Profs. O. Piattella, V.
Gorini et al. In fall 2010 I started a PhD program in mathematics, under the supervision of Prof. A. Agrachev. This is why
my ”production” is split in physics (2010-2011) and mathematics (2012 onward).
