    Research Fellow at University of Milan

  • Education

    • Liceo Scientifico Claudio Cavalleri

      2009 - 2014
      Diploma di maturità scientifica Indirizzo liceo scientifico tradizionale 84/100

    • Università degli Studi dell'Insubria

      2018 - 2020
      Master of Science - MS Chemistry Summa cum laude

      Thesis: Development of photocatalysts for the abatement of inorganic mercury. Supervisor: Prof. Sandro RecchiaCo-Supervisor: Dr. Davide SpanuDuring my thesis, I prepared and tested gold nanoparticles decorated titanium dioxide nanotubes for the photocatalytic abatement of inorganic mercury in water. Characterization of materials was conducted by employing SEM-EDX and XRD, leading to theoretical and practical knowledge of the techniques.

      2020 - 2024
      Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Chemical and Environmental Sciences Cum Laude

      Thesis: Development of nanostructured photocatalysts for reaction of environmental interestSupervisor: Prof. Sandro RecchiaDuring my Ph.D. I focused on the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured titanium dioxide photocatalysts for reactions of environmental interest (pollutant degradation and hydrogen production). This led to proficiency in the use of several analytical techniques (GC, HPLC, XRD, XAS, SEM-EDX, DR-UV, ATR-IR, ICP-MS) and independence in conducting research.

    • Università degli Studi dell'Insubria

      Mar 2019 - Jun 2023
      Teaching Assistant

      Teaching assistant for the didactic laboratory in the “Analytical Chemistry” and “Instrumental Analytical Chemistry” courses in the Chemistry Bachelor of Science degree. My main responsibilities were the practical teaching of basic laboratory techniques (e.g., pipetting, filtration, titration), separation techniques (e.g., Liquid-Liquid, Solid Phase Extraction), and instrumental techniques (Gas Chromatography, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Infrared Spectroscopy).

    • Universiteit Twente

      Jun 2022 - Feb 2023
      Visiting Ph.D. Student

      I worked under the supervision of Dr. Marco Altomare in the PhotoCatalytic Synthesis (PCS) group led by Prof. Guido Mul. My focus was the development of nanostructured photocatalysts for sustainable hydrogen production. During this collaboration, I also had the chance to conduct research in international facilities such as ESRF, DESY, and ELETTRA synchrotrons.
