I graduated in Chemistry at the University of Naples “Federico II” and I hold a PhD in Materials Engineering at the same University.

I have a long experience of more than 25 years in Construction materials companies, that allowed me to acquire deep competences in cements, new low carbon binders, admixtures, industrial mortars, concretes, and new solutions for the building chemistry. In particular, I have been always involved in construction materials formulation, characterization, by studying interactions with inorganic products (cement, filler, supplementary cementitious materials), and in the development of products and solutions for the building industry, with more than 70 products developed for different applications.

I am inventor of more than 30 patents, of which new cement-based material for Italian pavilion at the MILANO EXPO 2015, and author of several scientific papers. During my whole career I have managed many scientific cooperation with several Universities and Research Centres, and I have been in charge of the Scientific coordination of European project LIFE “Cement-based brake pads”.

I have been a member of Scientific Working Group on Construction Decarbonization (2023-2024) and Member of Technical Committee focused on Geopolymer Concrete (TC-GC) of the Asian Concrete Federation (ACF).

I worked in different roles that allowed me to develop competences in Research Project management and product implementation, Intellectual Property, Innovation management by working in collaboration with other company departments, like sales, operation, and marketing.

My competences are in Research & Development management, Intellectual Property, Problem solving & analytical approach, Time management, Business and technical development, Team building and motivation of people, Knowledge sharing and transfer of expertise, including training; I am organized, curios, determinate, able to work in an international & multicultural context.
