Born in Magenta (MI), 7/11/1988. In 2012 he graduated in Industrial Chemistry and Management with the thesis “Highly non ideal phase equilibria of different mixtures of industrial interest, experimental and simulation.”. In October 2012 he started The PhD School in Industrial Chemistry (Tutor: Dr. Carlo Pirola) at the University of Milan with the title “Reduction of the carbon footprint of fuels and petrochemicals starting from vegetable oils”. In February 2013 won a one-year Research Grant (PRIN) on tha innovative treatement of bio-algal oil to obtain jet fuel and green diesel.
