Degree M.Sc. in Geology (University of Trieste). PhD in Environmental Sciences-Marine Sciences in 1996 (University of Parma). Scientific coordinator in the Department of Mathematics and Geosciences at Trieste. Since 2000, he has been the scientific manager of the Trieste section of the Antarctic Museum. Delegate of the Rector in the National Scientific Council of the National Antarctic Museum from 2003 until its inauguration in June 2004. He coordinated and supervised the scientific and design activities for the National Antarctic Museum's exhibition center, of which he is the current Deputy director. He has been a visiting researcher at the FRAM Center in Tromso, the British Antarctic Survey, and The Science Museum “Principe Felipe” and the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. As a micropaleontologist, he is involved in the analysis of ostracod and testate amoebae faunas in Antarctic, southern oceans, and high-altitude lakes for the analysis of late Quaternary paleoclimatic variations and for the historical reconstruction of anthropogenic impact in lake and coastal environments.
He currently coordinates the paleontological task force of the project Antarctic Ice Sheets' dynamics: new data from provenance and paleontological analysis of IODP374 and DSDP Leg28 cores in the Ross Sea.
