(2008) Bachelor degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Insubria (Varese).
(2010) Master degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Insubria (Varese).

Stefano Cassani was born in Busto Arsizio (Italy) in 1983. He graduated in 2008 (Bachelor’s degree) under the supervision of Prof. Gramatica and Dr. Papa with a Thesis on atmospheric degradation QSAR modeling of Volatile Organic Compounds.
Always under the supervision of Prof. Gramatica and Dr. Papa, he graduated cum laude in 2010 (Master’s degree) with a Thesis on QSAR modeling for toxicity and ecotoxicity of (Benzo)Triazoles, a class of emerging pollutants. He is in collaboration with QSAR Research Unit in Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology (DBSF - University of Insubria – Varese) on same topic and since February 2011 he is working in the same group with a fellowship of the european project FP7-ENV-2007-1 CADASTER.
