About

Forensic scientist by training, I developed a strong knowledge in data analysis of chemical information as well as in analytical technologies in various pharma & forensic areas (e.g. biologics drug pruducts, paints, polymers, fingerprints, drugs, firearms, documents, glass). I have strong troubleshooting and communication skills, including teaching and technical presentations in international conferences and in global team meetings.
