5 A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME About my personal life, I will say that I am just 50 (but all say: You don't look your age at all!), I have a sweet wife, her name is Valedith Cusati. She is a Chemical Engineer of the UCV and a wonderful pastry chef. I enjoy so much to teach physics, specially quantum mechanics and mathematical methods. I love to study the mathematics of the so-called model problems (these are very suitable for simulating quantum phenomena). I have inquired into the role of boundary conditions in the definition of differential operators. I have also investigated about the role of certain currents and fields in the (Dirac) relativistic quantum dynamics. I have studied the so-called (non-relativistic) supersymmetric quantum mechanics but in terms of real currents and fields. I speak Spanish and Italian, and my English is good (Spanish is my mother tongue). I am very familiar with the Internet, and the programs MS Office, Expression Web, Maple, LyX, LaTeX, TeX and Scientific WorkPlace, among others. I am a very enthusiastic and idealistic person. I love soccer, traveling, make pizzas, go to the beach and watch news on TV, these are my hobbies. I am always eager to know new people also working in physics.
