About me

I am strongly passionate for my work, since it has always been my dream job. I obtained both my Bachelor and Master Degrees in Organic Chemistry working on Medicinal Chemistry. Now my main focus is on Asymmetric Organocatalysis. I am ambitious and driven, my main aim is to become a researcher and find new and greener synthetic strategies to actively contribute to the society.

My research

A sustainable access to high-value added molecules is critical for the development of society. I am focusing my PhD research on the development of new catalytic asymmetric strategies, building in particular on asymmetric organocatalysis (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2#N/A21). I am enjoying to get my hands dirty in a wet lab!
