PhD in Environmental Sciences from the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, with a thesis on the assessment of Small Microplastics (<100 µm) fluxes and other pollutants from the atmospheric compartment to highways stormwaters run-off. Research fellow (2019-2020) at Ca’ Foscari University with a research project in the development and analysis of microplastics (<100 µm) and plastic additives via MicroFTIR and PyrGC/MS in different environmental matrices, such as water, sediment, biota, snow, aerosol and ice cores also from Svalbard Islands. Winner of an Arctic Field Grant 2020 on the quantification and identification of small microplastics, additives, and plasticizers in snow and aerosol from Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard Island.

Current position: Research Fellow at CNR-ISP on the microplastics and plastic additives analysis and environmental impact assessment in different polar matrices.
