• My publications record consists of 90 articles in peer-reviewed, ISI international journals, having >5100 citations and h-index 57. 75% of these articles were published in Q1 quartile.
• My scientific independence is demonstrated analysing my publication list, containing 80% articles without PhD and PostDoc supervisors.
• My relevant contribution is clearly highlighted considering that I am first author of 40 articles, corresponding author of 50 articles, senior author of 5 articles, and 1-time single author.
• A further demonstration of the impact of my work is testified by a very low self-citations degree (<8%), and in 2017 I ranked 1^st in the “Top Young Scientists” chart (VIA-Academy), with the highest IF in Europe among early-mid career researchers.
