Career in brief:
I am presently Senior Lecturer at the
University of Sydney. In 2003-2006 I worked as a
ARC postdoctoral fellow at the Australian National University in the Department of Applied
Mathematics. In 2002-2003 I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the
University of Ulm in the Department of Applied Physics, headed by Prof. Stephan Herminghaus and Saarland University, in the
group of Prof. Karin Jacobs. I received my Master in
Chemistry (1998) and PhD (2001) at the University of Florence, Italy.
