I was working with Alessandro on a interdisciplinary and progessive project in biophysics. His innovative way to tackle complex challenges were essential to solve some major problems. It was both very constructive work and great fun to work with him.   — Dr Philipp Angerer, Novartis   Alessandro is a very creative and efficient worker. He is always up-to-date in his field and he constantly comes up with brilliant ideas by establishing connections between common problems in various disciplines, which are tackled by different mathematical methods.   — Dr Eduardo Alonso, Julius Bär   Alessandro is an extremely competent quantitative analyst and entrepreneurial problem solver.   — Dr Tobe Freeman, WordUp Communications   I wonder if you can ever find an individual so dedicated to the project at hand than Alessandro. There is nothing that can escape his intense focus and energy. People almost invariably do what they have to, but Alessandro has the lightness and curiosity to take action because he wants to.   — Yoshi Noro, Citizen of the World
