Born in Turin, passionate about nature, I obtained the 3rd FIPSAS certification level specializing in underwater photography. I deepened this passion first by obtaining a degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Turin in 2017 and then through a MSc degree in Marine Biology in 2020 at the Polytechnic University of Marche. In June 2020 I obtained a scholarship at the CNR IRBIM of Ancona with the following topic: “Biology of Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) with particular reference to the characteristics of the population inhabiting the Pomo pit area and evaluation of the effects of the measures implemented for the management of this resource”. During that period I embarked for several oceanographic cruises, “I-UWTV Survey” and “ScamPo”.
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.
