Education:  

PHD IN BIOLOGY - University of Naples Federico II/Institute for Mediterranean Agricultural and Forestry Systems

MASTER'S DEGREE IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES (BIODIVERSITY, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND CONSERVATION) - Federico II University of Naples

BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES (BIO-ECOLOGICAL FOCUS) - University

Federico II of Naples

Main research interests:

• Greenhouse gas and reactive gas exchanges between biosphere and atmosphere in natural, semi-natural and man-made environments
• Exchange dynamics of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in agricultural and man-made ecosystems as markers of biochemical, physical and physiological processes
• Relationship between biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and stress events in the Mediterranean area
• Impact of greenhouse gases and VOCs on atmospheric dynamics on a local scale

Laboratory/field activities:

• Use of Eddy Covariance (EC) methodology for high-frequency measurement of H₂0, greenhouse gases and VOC
• Using the PTR-TOF-MS mass spectrometer for real-time measurement of VOC concentrations and fluxes
• Use of automatic soil chamber system for real-time measurement of greenhouse gas fluxes and volatile organic compounds
• Sampling and analysis of biometric and environmental variables in agricultural ecosystems
• Use of neural networks (SOM) to explore multi-relationships between gas exchange, environmental variables, phenology, growth indices and meteorology
