Seeking regenerative approach to upcycle waste and byproducts through microbial driven processes
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow Researcher at Politecnico di Torino, collaborating with the Center for Sustainable Future Technologies (CSFT@Polito). Since 2015, I have been studying methanogenic archaea—microorganisms capable of naturally converting CO₂ into energy, water, and biomass. My research explores how these microbes can be leveraged for the extraction and recovery of critical and strategic metals from e-waste and industrial wastewater, contributing to a more circular and sustainable approach to resource management.
Outside of academia, I have cultivated a deep fascination with the fungal kingdom and its potential to revolutionize materials innovation and supply chains.
This passion is taking shape as Myconic, an early-stage startup I co-founded, entirely independent from my academic role.
My scientific and entrepreneurial paths complement each other, reinforcing my commitment to innovative solutions for circularity. I am dedicated to advancing research and initiatives that drive the sustainability transition, with the aim of fostering a circular and more equitable model for the future of our planet.
