Profile

I was born in Fiesole (FI) on 02/08/1991. In 2018 I obtained a BSc degree in "Nursery sciences, environment and green areas management" at the University of Florence with the following thesis: "Effects of ozone stress on biomass production and allocation in tropical and Mediterranean plant species" (110/110 cum laude).

In 2020, at the same University, I obtained a MSc Degree in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies with a thesis entitled "Phytopathological and eco-physiological evaluations on Cupressus sempervirens clones inoculated with Seiridium cardinale and subjected to Ozone fumigation" (110/110 cum laude).

Winner of a research grant at the Department of Agricultural, Food, Environmental and Forestry Sciences and Technologies (DAGRI), I carried out research in the ornamental and olive nursery sector.

Currently, I’m a research fellow at the Research Institute on Terrestrial Ecosystems (IRET) of the Italian CNR and I’m enrolled in the PhD course in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
