I graduated from the University of Padua with a B.Sc. in Geological Sciences in 2008 and then moved to Germany where I obtained both my M.Sc. (2010) and PhD (2014) in Experimental Geosciences at the Bayerisches Geoinstitut, University of Bayreuth. As a Postdoctoral Research Associate, I spent a year in the United States at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (IL) and then moved to the University College London (UK) in 2015.
