Experience

• 

  Università degli Studi di Padova

  Oct 2020 - Jan 2022

  The research is focused on supramolecular sensors:• Synthesis and characterization of triphenolamines ligands • Synthesis of the relative complexes of Co, Fe, V• Use of chiral spectroscopies (CD) I completed a year-long master's thesis internship in Professor Cristiano Zonta's laboratory. With the thesis entitled "Tailoring recognition properties in confined systems by molecular size control" I had the possibility to synthesize a novel supramolecular designed cage and to test and tailor its properties towards different dicarboxylic acids. I learned how to organize work indipendently in the lab and how to proceed with bibliographic research and with different organic reactions.

  Visiting Research Scientist

  The research has been carried out at the Department of Chemistry at the Jagiellonian University, in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry of the University of Padova. The aim was to study different vanadium(V) complexes with chirooptical spectroscopies such as:• Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) • Electronic Circular Dichroism (ECD)• Raman Optical Activity (ROA) Supervisor: Associate Professor Agnieszka Kaczor
