InterestsI am really interested in the synthesis of biologically active substances that are produced by plants. Passionated by China for a while, I enjoyed a very productive experience in the University of Beijing. This helped me to understand the huge healing power of certain components derivated from natural ones.Conductor of the ECPM’s Harmony, during my second year of engineering, I am also passionated by music that I try to share with as many as possible.
