Matilde joined the Williams group in October 2022, where she is working on the study of functional polyesters for the preparation of resins and vitrimers in collaboration with iCAST (Innovation Centre for Applied Sustainable Technologies).
Mati completed her Bachelor degree in Chemistry and Materials Chemistry at the University of Bologna (Italy) in 2016. She then moved to Berlin for a 2-year Master degree in Polymer Science (2018), a joint Master degree of the Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt Universität, Technische Universität, and Universität Potsdam. In January 2019, she started her PhD under the supervision of Prof. Remzi Becer at the University of Warwick (UK) where she focused on the synthesis of oxazoline/methacrylate-based graft-copolymers and the evaluation of their thermoresponsive behaviour and self-assembly in solution.
