The Human Behind
the Engineer

Studying Engineering at the University of Trieste has taught me more than just equations; it has been a masterclass in resilience and learning agility. Handling high workloads under pressure has prepared me for the fast-paced environment of Deep Tech.

I believe that being an engineer means being a translator: being able to explain a complex material failure to a stakeholder as clearly as I would to a fellow specialist.

Team Player

Experienced in lab-based coordination.

Resilient

Thriving in demanding academic settings.

ENGLISH FLUENCY

"Explaining a complex problem clearly, even to those without a degree in the field."

All Energy Engineering Mindset

Breathing in Change: My Awakening in the Dolomites

My six days at the Giacomo Ciamician Summer School on Energy in the Dolomites profoundly transformed my perspective on sustainability. Surrounded by world-class experts and international peers, I realized that the global energy transition isn't a distant utopia—it is a tangible reality happening right now. The foundational technologies already exist; what we truly need is execution, global synergy, and public awareness. I returned home ignited with a deep sense of responsibility, ready to help architect a decarbonized future. Dive into my day-by-day chronicle to explore the breakthrough insights from this incredible journey!

Black Belt Resilience

Competitive Karate practice (2nd Dan Black Belt and selection for the National Team) shaped my approach to challenges. Years of consistent training and international competitions taught me that excellence is not an act, but a habit built on perseverance and self-control. In the field of engineering, I bring the same mindset: the ability to recover after an experimental failure and to tackle complex problems with the calmness and determination needed to find a solution.

The Engineer as a Technical Translator

I believe that technological innovation is useless if it cannot be communicated effectively. Since high school, where I led biotechnology lab activities for my classmates, I have cultivated the ability to make complex concepts accessible and easy to understand. Today, this aptitude allows me to communicate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and diverse stakeholders, speaking both the language of technology and that of strategy. My mission is to act as a bridge between pure research and its sustainable industrial implementation.

Sodium-Ion Batteries: Powering Grid Stability

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are a cost-effective, abundant alternative to lithium, essential for grid resilience amid rising renewable energy use. Insights from Professor Daniele Bosich (UniTS) emphasize their role in balancing volatile power loads through peak shaving and load shifting. With CATL demonstrating industrial scalability, SIBs de-risk global supply chains and turn sustainable infrastructure into a practical reality.

Photonic Computing: AI at the Speed of Light

Silicon computing is hitting a thermal limit, with 40% of data center energy wasted on cooling. Native Photonic Computing via Thin-Film Lithium Niobate (TFLNOI) offers a radical solution, achieving a 50x performance boost and reducing energy costs from 2300 fJ to a mere 76 fJ per operation. Already operational at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, this technology enables heat-free AI inference and complex scientific simulations, proving that the future of High-Performance Computing lies in light, not heat.

AI-Driven Material Design: From Trial and Error to Generative Engineering

A seminar by Dr. Claudio Zeni (Microsoft Research) at the University of Trieste highlighted how AI is revolutionizing material science. Historically a slow process of trial and error, material discovery is being transformed by generative tools like MatterGen. These models allow engineers to "prompt" for specific physical properties, such as magnetic density or bulk modulus, to instantly generate stable, unique, and new candidates. This shift empowers the next generation of engineers to accelerate innovation in batteries and carbon capture, driving global sustainability.
