I am an independent researcher with studies in Aeronautical Engineering at Poilitecnico di Milano; I have been working on the Physics of Living Matter together with theoretical physicists Prof. Emilio Del Giudice (INFN Milano) and Prof. Giuseppe Vitiello (Un. Salerno). In particular, the studies focus on the properties of aqueous solutions in living matter with the emergence of supramolecular organization both from the theoretical and experimental point of view for chemical-physical phenomena and regenerative effects on cell lines. I have participated in numerous international scientific conferences and continue to publish scientific papers. I am now interested in practical applications in the world of “food” for the ability of the supramolecular organization of aqueous solutions to modify the organoleptic characteristics of beverages and foods in general. I am passionate about aviation, flying and downhill skiing. I am married with my artist wife (photographer) and we have two children involved in sport.
