I studied at the University of Bologna, where I graduated with honors in both the bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences (2023) and the master’s degree in Environmental Analysis and Management (2025). Over the years, I have become familiar with instrumentation such as XRF, ICP-OES and GC-MS, especially during the preparation of the theses – which in both cases was focused on geochemistry. I have experience in decoding compositional data and skills in the use of softwares for data analysis (GCDkit, Qgis, Past). I am currently carrying out the FishMed PhD with a project based on the study of sedimentology and biogeochemistry of the seabed of the central-southern Adriatic.
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.
