I studied Physics Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, where I earned a bachelor’s degree followed by a master’s degree. Both of them consisted mainly of solid state physics classes, with a particular focus on semiconductors (for electronics and photonics application) and magnetic nanostructures.

This animation shows a diffraction experiment. Watch the light as it travels through the optics – can you see it change colour and shape? The pattern produced at the end of the experiment is called a diffraction pattern, and is unique to the molecule in the crystal being studied. We use these patterns to work out the position of atoms in the original sample.
