Guglielmo was born in Rho, a little town outside Milan in Italy. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in chemical sciences and technologies at the University of Milano-Bicocca (2019) and his master’s in chemical sciences at the University of Milano (2021). Since September 2022 Guglielmo moved to Barcelona, Spain, where he started a PhD in organic chemistry. His focus of research is mainly ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes for photodynamic therapy. He is currently working as visiting PhD student in Gasser’s group in Paris, where he is testing his ruthenium(II) complexes on cancer cells. In his free time Guglielmo loves reading, writing and playing the guitar.
