I graduated in Natural Sciences at the University of Padova (Italy). I devoted both my Bachelor and Master thesis to study calcareous nannofossils, the coccolithophores fossil remains. In 2021 I started my PhD in Sustainable Development and Climate Change under the supervision of Professor Claudia Lupi focusing on the effects of the ocean acidification on both fossil and living species of coccolithophores.

My PhD project regards the study of effects of the ocean acidification on both fossil and living species of coccolithophores. This project aims to quantify the phytoplankton action-reaction toward ocean acidificationand define the past and future efficiency of calcifying phytoplankton in adsorbing CO2.To achieve these goals, I will analyze data from the fossil record and compared them with those collected from culture experiments.
