He was then high-school teacher of chemistry until April 1990, when he was appointed as research associate at the University of Padova, and later associate professor (2000) and professor (2006).
In 1992 he worked 5 weeks at DSM Research (The Netherlands) to synthesize optically pure quaternary alpha-amino acids, by exploiting a DSM chemo-enzymatic approach.
In 1996 he was awarded the “A. Mion” prize from the University of Padova..
