Biografia

I took the first steps of my research journey at the Laboratory of Cryospheric Sciences, known as CRYOS, within the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) during my master's studies. There, I delved into snow physics and its modeling with a semester project focused on assessing the sensitivity of modeled snow precipitations to variations in data supply and internal parameterizations.
This collaboration led me, for my master's thesis, to the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SFL) in Davos. At SLF, I could combine my passion for the alpine cryosphere with my background in climate change studies examining the effects of climate change on snow cover in Swiss alpine terrains throughout the 21st century.
Fueled by the enthusiasm that those experiences brought me, I jumped into a Ph.D. program right after I graduated in Environmental and Land Engineering with a focus on Climate Change at Politecnico di Torino. This decision led me to the WaterToFood research group at Politecnico di Torino, where I currently work on agro-hydrological modeling to describe the soil-atmosphere-plant continuum. My objective is to mitigate agriculture's susceptibility to climatic variability and reduce the excessive use of irrigation water.
