A BIT ABOUT ME
Why? How? When? Where?
These simple questions have been in my head for as long as I have memories, and have motivated me to learn about very different aspects of life.
I strongly believe that curiosity is the engine of the knowledge. Moved by this curiosity I decided to study Chemistry, and day by day my enthusiasm for research has grown.
As an undergraduate student I started to collaborate with several research groups and I loved the experience. I made the decision to do a PhD, then a postdoc, and after it to continue this adventure as as an independent researcher.
During that time, I have learnt not only the beauty and complexity of NMR, but also how both the scientific and academic worlds work. I learnt how important is to exchange thoughts and views with other researchers, and the advantages of teamwork, as well as the importance of effective communication of our ideas.
Over these years working with different researchers and in different environments, I have come to realize just how valuable the interactions between scientists working in different research areas and from different generations are in transmitting knowledge, inspiration and motivation.
