I am a conservation biologist and ecological modeler with a strong interest in understanding how environmental changes shape species distributions and ecosystem dynamics. My research lies at the intersection of ecological modeling and conservation science, with a particular focus on predicting range shifts, assessing ecological connectivity, and informing biodiversity management in the face of global change.

​

I hold a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from the University of L’Aquila (2021–2024), where my project—“Spatial and temporal trends in the distribution of Western Palearctic target vertebrates in the context of Global Change: conservation and management at landscape scales”—focused on modeling species distributions under scenarios of climate and land use change. The project was carried out under the supervision of Prof. Maurizio Biondi and Dr. Mattia Iannella and was awarded Excellent cum laude.

​

I previously earned a Master’s degree in Environmental Biology and Ecosystems Management (2018–2020) and a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences (2015–2018), both completed cum laude at the University of L’Aquila. My theses focused on species distribution modeling and biogeography, with case studies on Canis aureus, Lynx lynx, Castor fiber, and Salamandrina.
