EDUCATION
- Ph.D. – University of Pisa, Italy, 4 years fixed-term course, Earth-Sciences (Geochemistry & Geothermal Energy), 1996-2000 (Dissertation defense on January 26, 2001)
- MSc – University of Pisa, Italy, Academic Year 1994-1995, Geological Sciences (Geochemistry & Geothermal Energy)
SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
Applied research experience in aqueous geochemistry and gas/water/rock interactions, including the investigation of geochemical and isotopic processes coupled to thermal and hydrological effects in geological and engineered systems. Application of hydrogeological/thermal, and/or multicomponent geochemical/reactive transport models to the study of various types of subsurface environments/processes, including hydrothermal/geothermal systems, sites for CO2 geological confinement, low-temperature aquifers, diagenetic reactions, contaminant transport, variation of continuous geochemical signals in seismically active areas.
