Biografia

Ph.D. student and geotechnical engineer specializing in geothermal energy applications for storage at the urban scale, aimed at meeting the thermal demands of urban communities through energy geostructures, such as energy tunnels. My work integrates numerical simulations at various scales, alongside field investigations, laboratory testing, and monitoring, to understand the responses of soils and rocks during subsurface heat exchange and energy storage.
