            I obtained my Bachelor (hons) from the
            <a href="http://www.univpm.it/">Università Politecnica delle Marche</a>,
            then my Master Of Science (hons) from the
            <a href="http://www.unicam.it/">Università di Camerino</a>.
            <br><br>
            I received my joint <strong>Ph.D.</strong> from the
            <strong><a href="http://www.cam.ac.uk/">University of Cambridge</a></strong>
            and the <strong><a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk">EBI</a></strong>,
            during which I studied multiscale modelling, multicompartiment neurons,
            biochemical pathways and their interaction on synaptic plasticity.
