Visiting PhD student
Our group was very glad to have with us for the past four months Davide Cicolari, a PhD student from the University of Pavia. Despite the challenges due to the timing of the Covid-19 situation, Davide did a lot of important work and achieved interesting results in our lab. The whole team wishes him a successful completion of his PhD and hopes to continue collaborating together in the future.
