After obtaining the Master’s Degree in Environmental Sustainability in 2017, he joined the IRBIM-CNR Institute in 2019, working in the field of marine acoustics. He mainly works on the monitoring of underwater noise through the use of hydrophones, evaluating noise pollution of anthropic origin and studying sounds of natural origin, within the framework of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive. He also participates in oceanographic surveys for the collection of acoustic data on small pelagics in the Adriatic Sea, performing biological sampling at sea and laboratory analyses on land, providing data for the evaluation of fish stocks within the Italian National Program on Fisheries Data Collection.
The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
