In 2015, master degree in Industrial chemistry (University of Bologna) with an experimental project on the modulation of the catalytic activity of thioureas by interaction with anions. In 2018, PhD (University of Bologna) on the functionalization of biopolymers (PHAs) and on the development of a new analytical method for the determination of hydroxyl value (OHV). From 2019 to present, study of 2D composite self-assembled made of Graphene Oxide and polycation for the fabrication of new membranes for gas separation (purification).

Layer-by-layer self-assembly of 2D composite nanoarchitecture made of Graphene Oxide and polycation, study of the possible application of new 2D composite into gas separation with a focus on hydrogen purification.
