Born in Ancona, where I achieved a degree in Biological Sciences (2020) and subsequently in Marine Biology (2023), at the Polytechnic University of Marche (UNIVPM). During my studies I had the pleasure of carrying out both internships at the CNR IRMBIM in Ancona. During my master’s course I carried out my thesis abroad, which dealt with the study of the various impacts and threats to biodiversity in the coral reef of the island of Koh Tao, in Thailand.
I obtained a PhD with the University of Urbino (UNIURB Carlo Bo) in association with the CNR IRBIM of Ancona, from November 2023, with the following topic “Enhancing protection and preservation of nature, biodiversity, and mitigating various forms of pollution: analysis of the emerging pollutants, eutrophication and microbial load in vulnerable sites and risk for the biodiversity (PNRR – D.M. 118/2023)”
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.
