I pursued a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry at the Politecnico di Milano, focused on the functionalization of carbon allotropes for elastomeric composites and as supports for heterogeneous catalysts. Among the achievements I have:- Followed the scale-up of the carbon black modification reaction in collaboration with BIRLA Carbon (US), a major industry leader that funded my research project.- Designed the characterization of elastomeric composites loaded with… Show more I pursued a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry at the Politecnico di Milano, focused on the functionalization of carbon allotropes for elastomeric composites and as supports for heterogeneous catalysts. Among the achievements I have:- Followed the scale-up of the carbon black modification reaction in collaboration with BIRLA Carbon (US), a major industry leader that funded my research project.- Designed the characterization of elastomeric composites loaded with modified carbon black working with PIRELLI Tyre S.p.a,- Performed multiple organic syntheses and chemical analyses of carbon allotropic modifying agents- Designed, synthesized, and characterized nanostructured supported heterogeneous catalysts, which were then tested in different contexts.- Analyzed graphene-based systems through computational calculations such as ab-initio DFT and molecular dynamics Show less

I did, during my doctoral studies, a period at the Center for Atomic and Alternative Energy (CEA) in Paris, supervised by Dr. Gregory Pieters. In the course of the activity I:- Tested catalysts previously synthesized by me based on Ruthenium and Palladium nanostructures supported on carbon nanotubes- Developed expertise in working with autoclaves and pressure reactors, specifically with regard to the safety of using such systems- Determined the activity of the catalysts by… Show more I did, during my doctoral studies, a period at the Center for Atomic and Alternative Energy (CEA) in Paris, supervised by Dr. Gregory Pieters.

Bologna, Italy

I worked as an intern at the Department of Industrial Chemistry "Toso Montanari" in the Laboratory of Catalytic Processes.My goal was to investigate the effect of deactivation of a catalyst based on tetragonal zirconia in the reduction of levulinic acid to GVL (gamma-valerolactone). Modifications to oxide synthesis and characterization, kinetic studies of conversion, yield and selectivity were my main focuses.Prof. Fabrizio Cavani and Dr. Tommaso Tabanelli as supervisors.

Sassari, Italy

I've spent 5 weeks at the University of Sassari, where Professor Alberto Mariani and his group gave lessons regarding polymer science, smart polymers and composite materials, teaching accompanied by laboratory experiences such as hydrogel synthesis, frontal polymerizations and functionalization of surfaces of plant material (superhydrophobicity of cellulose). Professor Gavino Sanna and his team instead provided us with a solid theoretical preparation on chromatographic and spectrometry… Show more I've spent 5 weeks at the University of Sassari, where Professor Alberto Mariani and his group gave lessons regarding polymer science, smart polymers and composite materials, teaching accompanied by laboratory experiences such as hydrogel synthesis, frontal polymerizations and functionalization of surfaces of plant material (superhydrophobicity of cellulose).

Treviglio, Italy

I worked in a carpentry and laser cutting company mainly dealing with bending steel / iron processes for the medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and metalworking sectors using CNC machines. During the different tasks I used various machines suitable for the treatment of metals including deburring, satin finishing and straightening. I also learned the use of carpentry tools for inserting mechanical components (inserts, self-locking nuts, etc.) and for surface finishing of metals (grinding… Show more I worked in a carpentry and laser cutting company mainly dealing with bending steel / iron processes for the medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and metalworking sectors using CNC machines. During the different tasks I used various machines suitable for the treatment of metals including deburring, satin finishing and straightening. I also learned the use of carpentry tools for inserting mechanical components (inserts, self-locking nuts, etc.) and for surface finishing of metals (grinding wheels, hoses, etc.). By assisting the various skilled workers I developed a strong sense of team. The metalworking sector is also famous for the attention to detail and measurements and manual skill and precision are required, skills that I have continued to enlarge daily. Show less
