In this space, you will find videos of talks, short courses, tutorials, and other academic activities developed within our group. The goal is to make these materials easily accessible to students, collaborators, and anyone interested in our research and teaching activities.
This page will be updated periodically as new recordings become available. The videos may include research talks, introductory lectures, technical tutorials, seminar presentations, and course-related material prepared by members of the group.
I hope this collection becomes a useful resource for learning, discussion, and future collaboration. Please check back regularly for new content.
