Francesco in a nutshell..

"Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita" I could define myself as a dedicated and curious person that enjoy reading and the exploration of the world around. The knowledge and perspective that my reading gives me has strengthened my researching skills and presentation abilities. I am not that bad when it is time to plan, schedule, and handle many different tasks at once. In a research group where there are many different personalities, this flexibility allows me to always try and put myself in a win win situation. People find me to be an upbeat, self-motivated team player with excellent communication skills.
