Curriculum Vitae

Interessi di ricerca

Mi occupo principalmente di ecologia ed evoluzione del plancton. La mia produzione scientifica è multidisciplinare e spazia dalla biologia ed evoluzione dei microorganismi acquatici all’ecologia di comunità, con particolare riferimento alle reti alimentari e alla dinamica dei sistemi socio-ecologici. Sono coinvolto in progetti di ricerca di base, inerenti all’esplorazione della complessità biologica degli esseri viventi, e applicativi, per la gestione delle risorse marine. Attratto dall’interazione tra natura e società, divulgo la scienza attraverso scrittura scientifica e musica.
