My great interest in mountain environments since a very young age has enormously conveyed my choice of approaching the geological sciences in 2012, when I enrolled in the University of Bologna. During the first three years, Structural Geology was the main discipline that engaged my attention. Later, my focus has shifted to the assessment and mitigation of the risks posed by natural hazards, which is still the current topic of my research.
B.Sc. in Geological Sciences at the University of Bologna, 2016. Thesis Title: “Rilevamento e analisi di microfaglie a rigetto centimetrico nelle Arenarie di Loiano”.
Trainee at NGI - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, 03/2018 – 06/2018.
M.Sc. in Geology and Land Management (Hydrogeological risk curriculum) at the University of Bologna, 2019. Thesis Title: “Debris flow susceptibility mapping for initiation areas at medium
scale: a case study in Western Norway”.
Ph.D. Student in Earth Sciences at the University of Firenze, 2019 – Ongoing. Thesis Title: “Spatial and temporal analysis of interferometric data for ground deformation detection from local to national scale”.
