Graduated in Analysis and Management of the Environment from the University of Bologna, he began his collaboration with the Institute of Polar Sciences in 2019, conducting a study on identifying biomass burning events in Ny-Ålesund between 2010 and 2020. Currently a PhD student in Polar Sciences at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, he works at the ISP in Bologna. He mainly focuses on studying the optical and physical properties of atmospheric particulate matter, with a special focus on the Arctic region. He uses passive techniques like solar and lunar photometry, combining them with in-situ measurements of the scattering and absorption coefficients of solar radiation by aerosols.
