Alessandra Candian

I come from the north-east of Italy. I grew up in Este, a pretty town with a small castle at the feets of the Euganean Hills, close to Padova.

In 2006 I obtained a Laurea Magistrale in Physics with Astrophysics from the Universitá degli Studi di Padova, one of the oldest university in the world. I then moved to England, where I got my PhD in Astrophysical Chemistry (2012) from the University of Nottingham.
