Short CV
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Siena and a Master's degree in Marine Biology from the University of Pisa. With advanced scientific diving skills and unrestricted motor and sailboat licenses, I bring extensive hands-on experience to marine field research and offshore operations in the private sector. I have collaborated with various marine biology institutes and, since 2022, I have been working at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn. My initial role involved supporting both laboratory and field research during environmental monitoring campaigns aimed at assessing the absence of risks to aquatic ecosystems from offshore activities, through the sampling of the water column, sediments, and biota. I later focused on developing protocols and technologies to support research activities in deep-sea environments. I am currently involved in the development of research infrastructure composed of a bathyscaphe and AUV, as well as in the management and maintenance of complex equipment for scientific research in deep marine environments.
Tasks
My duties involve both the use of oceanographic instruments and software for data acquisition and processing. As for scientific research, my main areas of interest include: nocturnal light pollution in coastal marine environments, the ecological and physiological role of bioluminescence in marine organisms, and the study of deep marine environments with particular emphasis on scientific exploration and the protection of biodiversity threatened by anthropogenic disturbances.
