She is co-author of more than 20 scientific publications, several patents and contributions to national and international conferences. Co-founder of SPINPET, she is currently responsible for the company’s Research and Development activities, leveraging strong project management skills.

Graduated in Chemistry for Industry and the Environment from the University of Pisa in 2018 with a thesis on polymer-matrix nanocomposites, he later obtained his Master’s Degree in Industrial Chemistry in 2020, defending a thesis on cutin as a natural polymer network for biodegradable formulations. Since October 2020 he has been working at SPINPET, where he is involved in research and development projects, the development of innovative and sustainable solutions, problem-solving activities and the characterization of polymeric materials, applying project management methodologies as well as contributing to business development activities. He is the author of one patent and four scientific articles.

Graduated in Chemistry with a specialization in Organic Chemistry from the University of Pisa in 2013, he carried out research activities at the Scuola Normale Superiore, the Institute of Nanotechnology of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), and the University of Pisa, focusing on the chemistry of polymeric materials and organic dyes, smart polymeric materials with optical response, luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) plastic devices, and “cool” coatings with NIR-reflective properties. He is co-author of more than 30 scientific publications and co-inventor of three patents. Since 2020 he has been working at SPINPET, where he is involved in applied research, problem solving and the development of innovative materials, applying project management skills and overseeing laboratory management.

Graduated in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Pisa in 2010 with a thesis on materials obtained from post-industrial PET/PE blends with tailored thermo-mechanical and flame-retardant properties, a work that earned her two major awards: the PlasticsEurope Italia Award and the First Prize Laura Conti 2010 – Special Award “Plastics Recycling”. Since September 2010 she has been working at SPINPET, where she is involved in applied research, polymer material characterization and problem solving. She is also responsible for technical customer management and coordinates characterization and problem-solving activities. She is Quality Management System Manager (QMS) for SPINPET and applies project management skills in her role. She is the author of several scientific articles and holder of one patent.

Graduated with a Master’s Degree in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Pisa in 2023, he carried out his thesis work at SPINPET on the reversible crosslinking of maleic-anhydride-grafted polyolefins. Since 2024 he has been working at SPINPET, where he is involved in applied research and development activities, with a particular focus on polymer material characterization and the resolution of technical-scientific issues. He is the author of one scientific article.

Graduated in Archaeology from the University of Pisa in 2011, she gained professional experience in the Customer Care sector within large-scale retail, dealing with customer management and operational support, and carried out administrative and logistics activities within a company operating in waste management brokerage. Since 2024 she has been working at SPINPET, where she is responsible for the main activities of the company’s administrative office.
