EDUCATION
- December 2016: Ph.D., Geological Sciences. The University of Texas at Austin, Texas (USA). Dissertation: Mixed-energy shallow-marine systems with emphasis on tidal influence
- July 2011: Master Degree in Geology. Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy). Thesis: sedimentological analysis of the Miocene mixed carbonate-siliciclastic succession of the Bonifacio Basin

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
- Sedimentolgy and stratigraphy of siliciclastic depositional systems, with focus on shallow marine and coastal systems
- Forward numerical modeling to unravel the sensitivity of coastal systems to changing depositional processes and environmental conditions
- Analysis of subsurface datasets (seismic, well logs and cores) to study depositional systems evolution in time and space
- Multidisciplinary approach to the study of Earth past environmental, climatic and biotic perturbations.
