Spin Off Of The University Of Pavia

SEM-EDX operator. I was also deeply involved in several scientific projects, where I acquired skills in other analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy (micro FT-IR) and optical profilometry.

Milano, Italia

Morphological characterization of particulate matter and polymeric filters by electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) and chemical analysis by EDXS.

Bayreuth, Germania

I investigated the trace elements behaviour in subduction zone system by both experimental and computational approaches.I acquired experience in the use of high temperature chemical synthesis, high pressure apparati, chemical analysis by electron microprobe and SIMS, spectroscopic methods (Raman) and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore I acquired proficiency in Unix environment.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Experimental And Computational Geoscience

Activities and Societies: Bayerisches Geoinstitut, Bayreuth, Germany. I investigated the trace elements behaviour in subduction zone.
