Introduction
I did both my BSc and MSc at Università Roma Tre where I graduated with Honours in Condensed Matter Physics (2018). I then moved to London for my PhD in UCL before moving to Oxford as a PDRA in Materials (2023-2025) and subsequently to the Department of Chemistry as EPSRC/Glasstone Research Fellow and Junior Research Fellow in The Queen’s College (2025 – ).
Research
The central pillar of my research is gaining a fundamental understanding of how weak intermolecular interactions determine the local and intermediate range structure of liquids. Model systems of iteratively increasing complexity are selected to target interactions with specific applied systems in mind. To date I have focused on aromatics and substituted aromatics which underpin protein frameworks, sulfur heteroaromatics for plastic electronics, industrially relevant solvents, and battery electrolytes.
