Who the heck are you?
Luke, I am your father
Hi I’m Arturo, the Italian gentleman with a love for science, writing, and all things in between.
I’ve spent most of my life devouring books, scribbling down words, and traveling the globe. But, I ain’t just all talk, I’ve also done some real science. I’ve even published a novel, Zagreb, and created a unique visualization of Dante’s Inferno as 2D RNA structures, which I’ve dubbed #BIOTEXT.
Currently, I’m editing my second manuscript with my agency and I’ve got a first shitty draft of a new story.
Science and Writing
I’ve combined my love for science and writing to create From Atoms to Words, a unique perspective on the world from the very small to the complexities of stories. And let’s be real, it’s ambitious AF. Well, you might like what I have to say, or you might not, and that’s cool.
In From Atoms to Words, I’ll be talking about traveling and writing, with a focus on my journey through the world of quantum.
It all began a long time ago during my PhD in quantum chemistry. It was a winding journey, full of detours, but it ultimately led me to work for a quantum-friendly company, doing simulations and all that nerdy stuff to pay the bills.
Who knows what will happen next?! One thing’s for sure, it’s gonna be a wild ride.
