      2015 - 2020
      High School Diploma 100 cum laude / 100

      Projects: -Fondazione Golinelli (Bologna) - “Le scienze forensi: tecniche e metodologie scientifiche utilizzate in laboratorio”.I spent a week during August 2018 in a Chemical laboratory in Bologna with other students of my Lyceum. The project was focused on forensic science. We extract DNA with a buffer from a contaminated object, then we isolated and washed it. Having been washed the DNA was replicated by PCR and it was confronted with a sample using the Agarose gel… Show more Projects: -Fondazione Golinelli (Bologna) - “Le scienze forensi: tecniche e metodologie scientifiche utilizzate in laboratorio”.I spent a week during August 2018 in a Chemical laboratory in Bologna with other students of my Lyceum.

This experience proved to be both challenging and rewarding, fostering the development of essential skills in communication, teamwork and project management. At the end of the semester, I delivered a comprehensive presentation of our project in front of our professors and peers and we were honoured with the distinction of having the best project.

    • Università del Piemonte Orientale

      Feb 2019 - Feb 2019
      UPO Academy at Università del Piemonte Orientale (Novara)

      The activity took place during February 2019 in a University Chemical laboratory. The project was dedicated to a selected number of deserving students from Piemonte Region. We were divided into various groups, the name of my project was: “Nanostructured materials for depollution of water”. We analysed different materials by comparing the amount of pollution, simulated by rhodamine B, that was left in the water solution. We used UV vis spectrophotometer to determinate the concentration of rhodamine. In the end we presented our research project in front of a commission composed by the President of the University, the Professors and the other students. Show less
