Trained as a condensed matter physicist, I obtained my Ph.D. with a study on the properties of molecular thin films for molecular electronics applications, by means of electron spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy techniques.

Since then, I moved my interest towards the field of nano-biophysics, applying my expertise on scanning probe microscopies and nanolithography to study functionality, structure and interactions of biomolecules and natural nanovesicles relevant to cancer disease.
