I’m a marine biologist with knowledge and expertise related to fisheries biology and stock assessment. I graduated cum laude in Marine Biology at the University of Bologna. During my scholarship years at CNR, the active involvement in meetings such as FAO-GFCM and ICES Working Groups made me immerse in international environments and put into practice the education received. I have and am contributing to several research projects (ECOSCOPE, FAIRSEA, MISTRAL, PNLRDA-SoleMon). I’m currently enrolled in a PhD course of study at the University of Bologna (FishMED PhD) in collaboration with the CNR with regards to assessment and management of demersal stocks in the Adriatic Sea, with a focus on common sole (Solea solea).
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.
