Awards

  • University of Messina. Young Research Prize for the scientific results of the academic year 2008.

  • Award “Orione 2016” – Award given by Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti (http://ww2.unime.it/accademiapeloritana/) and the Associazione Culturale MessinaWeb.Eu (http://www.messinaweb.eu/).
