Leonardo De Deo

PhD student in Astrophysics with a thesis on the dynamics of galaxies, I am currently a research fellow in the field of Astronomy Education.

I obtained a degree in Astronomy in 2020, and a master's degree in Astrophysics and Cosmology in 2022, both from the University of Bologna. Since 2017, I have been a scholar of Collegio Superiore/I-PhD College, an interdisciplinary institution of excellence of the University of Bologna.

I am the scientific coordinator of "Cosmic Roots," an inclusive science outreach project in collaboration with Collegio Superiore and Associazione Volhand. Since 2025, I have been a member of the scientific committee of "Pescara-Scienza", the new festival of scientific research and dissemination held in the city of Pescara. Together with Bartolo Giuseppe Dimattia, I am the author of the book "Cronache dal Cosmo: Terra in vista!" (Bologna University Press, 2025).

I like to see my studies as a step towards a more conscious society, integrating the two universes outside and inside us.
