Alessandra is a materials scientist with a passion for all things space, snorkelling, microscopy, the environment, environmental and STEM Education. Alessandra leads a team of researchers with interests in polymers, textiles and sustainable materials. They work closely with industry partners to increase the sustainability of the textile and manufacturing industry. When Ale is not in the office, she is most likely training teachers and students on how to identify microplastics in the environment, or hunting microplastics herself, equipped with a snorkelling mask, a set of fins, lots of sampling bottles and a keenness to understand what it takes to look after this (only livable!) planet a bit better.
