Luca Settimo, Honorary Post-doctoral Fellow (Theology), University of Nottingham

I have a background as a scientist in pharmaceutical sciences and clinical research - in particular, my work in this field led to the publication of several scientific articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals, a scientific monograph (my PhD thesis in Structural Bioinformatics and Computational Chemistry), and different patents.

Given my interest in the dialogue between Science and Theology (an interest which was born some years ago while I participated to some student activities on this subject organised by the University of Oxford), I decided to study Theology, and in July 2019 I obtained a MA in Systematic and Philosophical Theology from the University of Nottingham (with distinction). In order to have a strong influence in the dialogue between Science and Theology, following my dissertation in this field, in October 2019 I started to study for a PhD in Theology at the University of Nottingham. In 2022 I successfully completed my doctoral studies in Theology and in December 2022 I was also conferred the title of Honorary Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Theology and Religious Studies.
