About Me

CURRENT MISSION

just a mirror for the sun

ABOUT ME

"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

The story of my life in a few lines: I grew up in a small village in the countryside of Verona but I studied in Trento, a nice city surrounded by the Alps. Then I moved even norther and I spent one year in Helsinki for my Erasmus. I lived in the beautiful Paris for 3 years for a PhD in materials science.I worked one year in South Korea as a Post-doc and now I'm back in Paris where I continue my research and I teach.

I like talking but I like even more listening and learn from new people.
I believe in destiny. I'm optimist.

In my bag you can find: wallet, tissues, glasses, a pen, a green pencil, candies (mint and milk), a book (jules verne in french), a journal (magnetic materials), a deck of poker cards, my camera, my I pod.

55 numbers on my french mobile phone, 124 on the italian one, 254 contacts on facebook. 314 songs on my I-pod, the first 5 songs in the random mode are:
1- Vision of division, Strokes
2- Una furtiva lagrima, Enrico Caruso
3- Home of the blues, Jonnhy Cash
4- Uno, Muse
5- The pretender - The Platters
I love listenig radio.

I play tennis but I prefer team games. I do jogging everyday to go to work. I'm always running against time. I hate waisting time.
