Scholarship holder

Master’s degree in Marine Biology in 2022 and a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences in 2019 from the Marche Polytechnic University. Specialized in marine botany, for my Master’s thesis project I studied the potentially toxic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata, characterizing it from a morphological, molecular, and toxicological point of view. In particular, the morphological part was conducted with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) to observe all ultrastructures with taxonomic value.

In 2021, I carried out an internship at the Marine Protected Area “Torre del Cerrano” on the LIFE DELFI project, where I monitored the effectiveness of the PINGERS distributed to fishermen, authorized to fish in the MPA, through the compilation of LOGBOOKs.

In 2023, I took the coordination activity of the PR@PESCA Project at the MPA “Torre del Cerrano” in collaboration with UNICAM, where I monitor the marine biodiversity present within the MPA through interviews with fishermen and LOGBOOKs.

Currently, I am a Research Fellow at CNR-IRBIM of Ancona as part of the “GAS STORAGE monitoring network” project within the offshore environmental monitoring framework for sampling, analysis, data interpretation, and studies for the CCS RAVENNA HUB-PHASE 1 project.

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.
