Nature addicted and professional visionary since 1991. I have always been fascinated by the discovery of the past and this, combined with the interest for the Natural Science, led me to Paleontology. Currently, I am a PhD Student in Vertebrate Paleontology working on the Evolution of the genus Equus and on the origin of the African Zebras. I am always looking for new scientific approaches to innovate my research, as the most recent tools in Virtual Paleontology on Retrodeformations using 3D and CT-Scans.
