In 2007 he obtained his Laurea in Chemistry, at the University of Milan, Italy and in 2010 he completed his doctoral studies on the activation of trichlorosilyl derivatives with chiral Lewis bases under the supervision of Prof. Benaglia, at the University of Milan. In 2011, he joined the group of Prof. Denmark with a postdoctoral fellowship, at the University of Urbana-Champaign, USA, where he worked on Lewis base-catalyzed asymmetric sulfenylation reactions. In 2012 he moved back to Milan, as postdoctoral fellow, where he is developing enantiomerically pure tetrachlorosilane-based Lewis acids for catalysis He is author of 13 papers on international journals.
