In the 19th episode of Italian Village – The Podcast, we meet a physicist whose journey moves across borders, disciplines, and dimensions — from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to shaping ideas and communities in Southeast Asia: Paolo Adragna, high-energy physicist, former researcher on the ATLAS experiment, and board member of the Singapore Italian Association.https://youtu.be/5ZRmIXReIBoAfter completing a PhD in experimental particle physics and contributing to some of the world’s most ambitious scientific experiments at CERN, Paolo expanded his horizons through roles in academia, international institutions, and innovation consulting — with studies at the Queen Mary, University of London enriching his interdisciplinary approach.In this episode, he shares what it was like working on the frontlines of discovery at CERN, how he transitioned from scientific research to broader impact roles, and why fostering community and cross-cultural dialogue has become an essential part of his mission here in Singapore.We also explore what physics teaches us beyond the lab — about curiosity, structure, collaboration, and adapting to change — and how an Italian perspective can stay alive and relevant across different geographies and careers.If you're passionate about science, global paths, or just want to understand how smashing particles can help build connections, this episode is for you.🎥 Guarda l’episodio completo su YouTube:👉 https://youtube.com/@italianvillage🌐 Scopri di più su: https://www.italianvillage.it/An idea of: Omar Bassalti 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/omarbassalti/Follow us on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/45kNUaSApple Podcast: https://apple.co/3VDVWZeAmazon Music: https://amzn.to/3Rrch17Guest: Paolo Adragna 👉 https://inspirehep.net/authors/1062474Host: Omar Bassalti 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/omarbassalti/Co-Host: Monica Vecchi 👉 https://sg.linkedin.com/in/monica-vecchi-490a5631Executive Producer: Italian Village - The Podcast | https://italianvillage.itArt Director: Italian Village - The Podcast | https://italianvillage.itAudio and Video Post-Production: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/Intro and Animations: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/ via https://www.canva.com/Graphics: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/ via https://www.canva.com/Video Equipment: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/Lighting Equipment: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/Social Media Manager: DLVRContact: info@italianvillage.it📍 Location:400 Orchard Road#06-10 Orchard TowersSingapore 238875https://maps.app.goo.gl/mkkA4t8p1S9k6FES8
