Teaching & supervision.

My deepest thanks go to my supervisor, Antonio Terpin, whose mentorship has shaped this thesis in more ways than I can count. Time and again, he reminded me that curiosity should guide us to push boundaries and approach problems with an open mind, an ethos reflected in his own openness, creativity, and formidable analytical insight that allowed ideas to truly flourish. His feedback was never mere correction but transformation, clarifying and elevating my work in ways beyond measure. Beyond this, I am fortunate to call Antonio not only a mentor but also a friend, one who cared deeply about my growth not just as a researcher but as a person, and for that, I am especially grateful.

Working with Antonio as supervisor was a privilege. His feedback was consistently precise, swift, and essential. Nothing was considered complete until it met a high standard, and although this often meant additional labour (not always greeted with enthusiasm), the result would not have reached its current quality without his guidance.

I reached out to Antonio, with whom I had previously collaborated, and I am deeply grateful for his responsiveness, support, and trust in accepting to supervise my thesis and for offering me this opportunity. During my master's thesis, I was then jointly supervised by Nicolas and Antonio, whose continuous guidance, constructive feedback, and encouragement shaped the experience from the very beginning. While giving me the freedom to explore ideas independently, they were always there to offer help and insightful advice, creating an inspiring and motivating environment. Their support not only fostered my scientific development but also helped me grow as an individual. Their wit, insight, and passion for research inspired me greatly, and I will always cherish the exciting whiteboard sessions with Antonio — wishing there had been more!
