03-01-1976: I was born in Alessandria (Italy).
1995-2001: Degree in Chemistry (Laurea in Chimica, 106 / 110) by the University of Piemonte Orientale “A. Avogadro” with a thesis on the Chemical and Physical Investigation of Spicules from Marine Sponges under the supervision of Prof. Leonardo Marchese.
2001-2004: Ph.D. in Chemistry by the University of Piemonte Orientale “A. Avogadro” under the supervision of Prof. Davide Viterbo. The Ph.D. concerned a research activity on the Structural Study of Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Systems: Siliceous Spicules from Marine Sponges. During the 2003 a training period on Small Angle X-ray Scattering techniques by the Austrian Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Heinz Amenitsch
2005: Post doctoral position by the Department of Advanced Sciences and Technologies (University of Piemonte Orientale “A. Avogadro”) with a research grant for researches on the: ‘Structural Study of Biomedical Siliceous Materials Using Diffraction Techniques’ under the supervision of Prof. Davide Viterbo.
2006: Laboratory technician by the Department of Advanced Sciences and Technologies (University of Piemonte Orientale “A. Avogadro”)
