About

Fueled by curiosity about the interaction of light with matter, I specialized in photochemistry at the University of Bologna and multiphoton spectroscopy at the University of Pennsylvania. I joined the EIN lab to apply my basic knowledge to biological questions in the realm of quantitative microscopy in living animals, with a special focus on fluorescence lifetime imaging.
