- Degree (MS) in Chemistry (University of Rome “La Sapienza”);
- Master's Diploma at the Department of Chemical Engineering (University of Rome “La Sapienza”);
- Doctoral school in Chemical, Environmental and Safety Engineering (University of Rome “La Sapienza”), and Doctoral school in Chemical Sciences (University of Ferrara) where He obtained his PhD. Previously.
He carried out research activities at the:
- Institute for the Dynamics of Environmental Processes (CNR-IDPA) in Venice,
- Institute of Atmospheric Pollution Research (CNR-IIA) in Montelibretti (Rome), and afterwards in Rende (Cosenza),
- Institute of Hygiene “G. Sanarelli“/Department of Public Health (University of Rome “La Sapienza”).
He taught General and Inorganic Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" as Adjunct Professor (Professore a contratto) (2008-2019). He collaborated with several research groups, developing and optimizing active and passive sampling strategies and chemical analytical methods for organic and inorganic micro pollutants (PCDDs, PCDFs, PCBs, PAHs, COVs, and heavy metals) as well as major ions. He applied chromatographic methods, in particular, gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry, to matrices such as ambient air, atmospheric particulate matter, atmospheric deposition and natural waters. His interests have been focused on quantifying levels of contaminants, studying their transport, dynamics, fate and environmental impacts, in urban, rural and remote areas. In recent years he has been focusing on the determination of mercury at ultra-trace levels by using atomic fluorescence techniques, in air and atmospheric deposition, as well as in potable waters. He has substantially improved some analytical aspects by eliminating the operational criticalities associated with Hg detection. In the framework of the Global Mercury Observation System (GMOS) project, coordinated by the Institute of Atmospheric Pollution Research (CNR-IIA). He was responsible for analytical mercury measurements in bulk and wet-only deposition samples from different remote sites at the CNR-ISP.
He is member of the research group carrying out measurements at the high-altitude Observatory of Col Margherita (MRG) in the Eastern Alps (Belluno Dolomites). This activity is within the scope of the iGOSP (Integrated Global Observing Systems for Persistent Pollutants, strand 3 - Global Change and Environmental Treaties) of the European ERA-PLANET project (2017-2020). He has been involved in several measurement campaigns, in an oceanographic campaign in the Mediterranean Sea on board the research vessel R/V “Urania” as Chief-Scientist, and in research activities (e.g. Integrative and Comprehensive Understanding on Polar Environments- iCUPE and Microtracer projects) at the CNR Arctic Station “Dirigibile Italia” as “Acting Station Leader” and “Field Scientist” in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard Islands, Norway (Four expedition, 2018-2022). In 2022, he was appointed as RSU (Trade-Union Representative) and as RLS (Workers Safety Representative) for the CNR Research Institutes of the Venice area.

He graduated degree in Physics at the University of Rome La Sapienza a thesis in physical oceanography. Hired in 1984, in the CNR he carried out research in the field of satellite remote sensing of the sea surface. In 1992 he began to deal with processes in the atmospheric boundary layer using acoustic remote sensing from the ground. He collaborated in the development and implementation of sodar (SOund Detection and Ranging) in the development of new methodologies for observing the lower atmosphere. As part of these activities, he participated in several campaigns in Antarctica at the Mario Zucchelli and Concordia stations, for the study of the dynamic characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer in a polar environment.
Since 2009 he has oriented his research activity on the processes relating to climate change in the Arctic polar region, which has seen a strong revival of research in the atmosphere, with the construction of the Climate Change Tower, an important infrastructure to measure physical parameters of the lower atmosphere, for which he is responsible. He currently has a coordination role in the working group of the Italian research activities at Svalbard, he represents the CNR in the NYSMAC and is included in the SIOS coordination working groups for the data management in Svalbard (SDMS) and he is Chair of the WG for Research Infrastructures Coordination Committee (RICC). He is also one of the Italian representative within the Arctic Council's AMAP (atmospheric monitoring) working group. Finally, he is the scientific manager of the IADC (Italian Arctic Data Center) the digital infrastructure for the management of data collected at the Arctic station Dirigibile Italia.

Director of Research at the CNR Institute of Polar Sciences (ISP) in Bologna, involved in polar research and management since 1986, both in Antarctica and in the Arctic. I am an expert of radiative transfer processes into the atmosphere, with research focus on radiation budget and role that atmospheric composition and surface characteristics play in modulating Shortwave (SW) and Longwave (LW) radiation components, determining their seasonal and inter-annual variability. In the last 10-15 years, I also promote implementation of complex and multidisciplinary observing platforms, as the Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower at Ny Alesund, to investigate coupling processes at the air-snow-land interface and in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL).
Research activities in this period included also (i) studies on effects of ozone depletion events in the Arctic on UV surface fluxes and their propagation at lower latitudes, (ii) investigation of snow surface albedo (broadband, spectral) and melting process, (iii) observations of aerosol vertical profiles (stratification) in polar (ABL) with tethered balloon (iv) improvement of polar night aerosol measurements thanks to the new lunar photometric technique. Always interested to improve observation capabilities in/for harsh environments, developing also custom instrumentation. At the moment, efforts are devoted to develop new systems for snow optical characteristics (spectral albedo, BRDF reflectance), as well as to improve atmospheric measurements over the ocean in general, and in particular quality, continuity and accuracy of ship measurements of radiation, cloudiness characteristics, and columnar aerosol (AOT).
