  Laboratory Technician

  Research and quality assessment internship characterizing polypropylene compounds using techniques like DSC, spectroscopy, and tests for tensile and shear strength. Simulations to evaluate the quality and properties of recycled polymers with different characteristics, while observing the impact of specific additives. It provided me with valuable hands-on experience and the opportunity to work alongside industry professionals, enhancing my analytical skills in the process

  PhD student STEP change | R&D environmental emissions monitoring

  Currently engaged in the European project ESCAPE as a doctoral researcher, focusing on developing an innovative environmental monitoring solution. Leveraging field measurements, Earth Observation data and machine learning, we aim to enhance understanding and prediction of risks from landfill and brownfield sites. Collaborating with important European partners we are working on a portable sensor kit for gas and emissions monitoring.Field activities, laboratory experience and data analysis characterized this research experience Show less
