Graduated in Natural Sciences at the University of Milan, I continued my academic path with a master’s degree in Marine Biology and Ecology at the University of Genoa.
After graduating, I worked on projects related to science communication and citizen science.
I am currently a research fellow at CNR‑IRBIM in Messina, where I work on a project concerning the collection, management and processing of data in the fisheries, aquaculture and fish‑processing industry sectors, within the scope of the objectives set out in Article 23 of Regulation (EU) No. 1139/2021.
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.
