Who am I

Pretending to think, in my office

Hello. My name is Massimo Sandal , a fellow born in 1981 in La Spezia, Liguria, Italy, one of the most deliciously misanthropic places of the world.

I then moved ten years to Bologna to pursue my M.Sci. and Ph.D.

I currently live in Cambridge , England.

My Erdos number is 6.

What do I do

Good question. Since childhood, I always wanted to be a scientist, and I has been one until recently: I came in Cambridge as a postdoc at the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge. My work has been until now focused on the biophysics of protein folding and aggregation.

However for reasons better explained here I am currently in a pause from academia. I still want to do science in a way or the other; we will see how. Nice challenge.

What I do too

Apart from work, my most cherished wastes of time are:

In general, I waste too much time on the Internet.
