Currently I am working as R&D Chemist @ Kollant. I am in charge of new formulations development, troubleshooting and improvement of the current formulas or manufacturing procedures. During these activities I am also involved in identification of new raw materials and in the first approach of the suppliers. I supervise plant trials and scale-up process, assisting and coordinating the workers. My previous experience let me manage the lab and provide technical support and knowledge transfer to QC team. In this role I can provide hands-on help and strictly collaborate with Operation, Supply, Quality and Regulatory offices.

MY BACKGROUND

I graduated in Chemistry (B.Sc) at Ca’ Foscari University (Venice, IT) in December 2009, studying the optimization of the asymmetric hydrogenation conditions for the synthesis of Sylvial® fragrance’s precursor.

In March 2012 I obtained the Master's degree in Chemistry, studying the synthesis of N,S palladium complexes and their applications in the Suzuki cross-coupling reactions.

Since September 2012 I worked at Udine in the group of Prof. D. Zuccaccia as Researcher Fellow under the Italian-FIRB program “Novel Au(I)-based molecular catalysts: from know-how to know-why (AuCat)”. This project led to the publication of 10 articles in 3 years.
