I received a PhD in physics at University of Trieste, Italy (2009).

I worked at ALOISA beamline of Elettra synchrotron (Trieste, Italy) studying the self-assembly on metal substrates of organic molecules relevant for electronics.

Subsequently I have been post Doc at University of Hamburg/CFEL in the group of prof. Wilfried Wurth where I studied with time-resolved X-ray techniques ultrafast chemical reactions.

Currently I am a researcher at ‘Istituto Officina Dei Materiali’ (IOM) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR).

I apply time resolved spectroscopies with synchrotrons and X-ray lasers to the study of reactions on surfaces and of photovoltaic materials.
