Daniel Giovannini is completing his PhD in physics at the University of Glasgow. Aside from his research in quantum photonics, Daniel is devoted to popularising science and explaining complicated issues in an uncomplicated way for a variety of publications. He is also one of the organisers of the first Glasgow edition of the Pint of Science festival. Daniel’s reviews and creative writing have appeared for years in several well-known Italian webzines.

Daniel is also a member of the international group Spatial Intelligence Unit (SPIN). Formed as an academic research unit, SPIN is now focusing on finding new solutions in urban planning. Combining art and science, they look for ways to redesign the tangible and intangible networks that encompass our cities, in order to foster not only the development of beautiful urban spaces but also social processes.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
