About Me

Huge traveler, extremely curious, open-minded, creative-maker, and (probably) funny. I have worked with research fellowships as environmental engineer at university and Italian CNR, and since 2014 I´m research associate at University of Göttingen.
I like spending my time meeting people and trying to interact in different languages (now German). I like analog photography (analog and digital), jazz and electronic music, contemporary arts, and rare and experimental movies.
