Researcher and Professional Engineer (Italian License, 2013), I love to read, write, code and solve problems. I also love to teach and help others learn and succeed.
I have a Ph.D. in Polymeric Composite Materials from Luleå University of Technology (2019) and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Université de Lorraine (2019). I hold a M.Sc. in Space Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (110/110, 2013); a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University (4/4, 2012); a B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (110/110, 2010).
I gained experience in R&D, computational engineering, data science and software development working at Drexel University, IMDEA Materials Institute, ETH Zürich, Université de Lorraine and Luleå University of Technology.
