About me

In 2021, I carried out an internship at the Botanical Garden of Frankfurt am Main in Germany. There, worked in various fields related to the organization of the structure. In 2023, I obtained a fellowship in soil chemistry related to forest fires at the University of Turin. Throughout this project, I conducted pedological surveys, performed analyses on soil and plant samples, and collaborated on the creation of a published excursion guide.

My research

My research centers on soil erosion dynamics in the alpine environment, specifically exploring the relationship between soil erosion in the Alps and vegetation recolonization. I plan to model these processes, identifying key factors. Starting with a literature review, I'll progress to field surveys, lab analysis, and data interpretation, utilizing tools like GIS and R for analysis.
