I got my MSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2013, at Uppsala University in Sweden. I then got a PhD in Structural biology obtained in 2021 at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.

Prior to joining the group of Prof. Michele Ceotto I did a Postdoc at Chalmers University in Göteborg, Sweden. In October 2024, I joined the group of Prof. Michele Ceotto at Università di Milano for a two year Marie Curie postdoc project.

Main research interests

  • Application of alternative semiclassical techniques to simulate NMR relaxation parameters in the solid state.
  • Usage of semiclassical molecular dynamics methods to aid NMR pulse sequence developement.
  • Techniques for spin dynamic simulations in large systems.
