My academic journey began at the University of Milan, where I studied chemistry and developed a particular interest in analytical chemistry. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I decided to continue my studies at the University of Turin, pursuing a master’s degree in clinical forensic chemistry and doping control. There, I had the opportunity to study analytical chemistry in all its aspects, with a particular focus on mass spectrometry.

For my thesis, I worked in the Mass Spectrometry Unit within the Department of Molecular Biotechnology and Health Sciences at the University of Turin. My research focused on the use of HPLC-MS and GC-MS techniques to develop methods for the selective identification of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates in the Brassicaceae family.

During my master’s degree, I also spent time abroad as part of the Erasmus+ for Traineeship programme. I worked at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Grenoble, France, at the Institute of Structural Biology (IBS), where I primarily focused on intact proteins within the mass spectrometry platform.

I believe that being part of MobiliTraIN is a fantastic opportunity for both my scientific career and personal growth. It allows me and my colleagues to engage with leading figures in our field—both academic and industrial—within the framework of European collaboration.

I am excited to contribute to the ambitious goals set by the project and to help promote the wider adoption and use of ion mobility-mass spectrometry.
