Born in Bergamo, 11/05/1990. In 2016 he graduated in Industrial Chemistry at Universit di Milano with the thesis “Enriched Air production by water desorption in a continuous bench-scale plant: experimental and simulation validation with economical/LCA analysis”. In November 2017 he started the Ph.D School in Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering (Supervisor: Flavio Manenti) at Politecnico di Milano studying the BigSQUID process (Biogas to Liquid).
