About

I graduated in Organic Chemistry in Italy in 2004 and then moved to Cardiff University to obtain a PhD in Organic Material Chemistry in 2008, with a project based on the synthesis and characterisation of novel Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIMs) under the supervision of Prof Neil B. McKeown.After the PhD, I worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at Cardiff University (2008-2013) and the University of Edinburgh (2014-2017). In October 2017, I have been appointed Lecturer in Chemistry at Swansea University where, in March 2020, I was promoted to Senior Lecturer.In 2017, I have successfully finished the Postgraduate Certificate Academic Practice (PgCAP) at the University of Edinburgh for which I have become a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).

I am a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC) and a STEM Ambassador.

Career Highlights

Teaching Interests

I teach Organic Chemistry for 1^st (CH-126), 2^nd (CH-238) and 3^rd year (CH-300). I am strongly focused on Material Chemistry (Polymers) and I have an optional course on the subject for 3^rd year and Master students. Every year I host in my research lab PGR, BSc and Master students, to whom I provide research projects (CH-349 and CH-409).

All lectures are taught with the innovative flip-classroom method. If you want to see an example of the how the lectures are delivered in this way, please watch the following Teaching video, with the introduction and comment of one of our undergraduate students.

Taught Modules

CH-126 Chemical Reactions 2

This module will continue the discussion of the fundamentals of the physical aspects of chemical reactions, both thermodynamic and kinetic. These and other previously-understood concepts will then be applied to the study of substitution and elimination and an introduction to redox reactions, both organic and inorganic. This module will build on existing understanding and will employ mathematics taught in other modules (CH-122) to conceptualise some of the material taught in this module. The module will have a variety of formative assessment opportunities and summative assessments that include writing of technical reports, a presentation, homework, workshops, and an exam.
CH-127 Chemical Practice

This module will introduce students to the three broad employment areas for chemistry: research, teaching or industrial positions. The lecture portion will cover fundamental aspects of being a professional chemist including safety, report writing, project management, and teaching skills. Students will attend research seminars and workshops, industrial field trips, and supervise school pupils in the laboratory. Assessment will be by coursework and a written report.
CH-238 Further Organic Chemistry

This module will build on material taught across the entire first year, and develops knowledge and understanding in the area of organic chemistry. Students will gain deeper knowledge of stereochemistry and conformation in organic chemistry, and of reactivity and reaction mechanisms in areas such as carbonyl, carbanion, carbocation, radical, aromatic and heterocyclic chemistry. They will also be introduced to key concepts and strategies in synthetic organic chemistry and physical organic chemistry. By the end of the module students will be equipped with the core tools to design synthetic routes, and to predict and/or determine reaction mechanisms. The module will have a variety of formative assessment opportunities and summative assessments that include writing of technical reports, a presentation, homework, workshops, and an exam.
CH-300 Advanced Topics in Organic, Biological and Medicinal Chemistry

This module will give students a high-level understanding of organic and medicinal (pharmaceutical) chemistry. Students will gain deeper appreciation of mechanistic considerations in organic chemistry, and will broaden their knowledge of synthetic methods, particularly those involving main group elements and transition metals. Key contemporary methods in organic chemistry will be studied. The module will build on the organic chemistry knowledge acquired in the previous year. By the end of the module, students will have a comprehensive grounding in organic and medicinal chemistry, and will be able to design or predict complicated synthetic routes, evaluate the outcomes and predict/analyse structures using a variety of spectroscopic methods.
CH-343 Advanced Laboratory Experience

This last formal lab module for those on the M Chem course consists of "project practicals" which can last from 3 to 10 weeks. These are intended to lay the groundwork for the more extensive research project carried out in the final year. The practicals change from one year to the next based on the current research of the department. They may be synthetic, analytical or purely involve extensive data treatment.
CH-344 Chemistry Project

3rd year projects are the opportunity to bring all you've learnt during your degree together and apply that knowledge to solve a problem. In Swansea these projects can be embedded in active research groups across the colleges of science, engineering or medicine, allowing you to build a network and experience in your chosen specialism within the chemical sciences. These projects are your opportunity to demonstrate to employers that you have a full understanding of your course and are able to direct your own studies, manage an independent research project and effectively communicate your findings. This selection suggests an interest in a project embedded within a research group in engineering, focusing on materials chemistry or chemical engineering
CH-409 MChem Research Project

MChem projects are the defining feature of the integrated masters with a chance to contribute research work of potentially publishable standard to an active research group within the University. In Swansea these projects can be embedded in active research groups across the Faculty of Science and Engineering or the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science, allowing you to build a network and experience in your chosen specialism within the chemical sciences. These projects are an excellent way of managing the transition on to your next destination after undergraduate study, whether that is a postgraduate research studentship or into employment. The skills developed in the MChem projects demonstrate the ability to successfully deliver all aspects of a 60 credit research project and on exit you will have demonstrated the academic equivalence and begun developing the other skills required for entry into professional development schemes leading to chartership. This selection suggests an interest in a project embedded within a research group in science, focusing on straight chemistry, or interacting and collaborating with another department such as bioscience, geography, physics, maths or computer science.
