Date of Birth: 05/07/1974 (Florence, Italy) 2000 - Gratuated in Geological Sciences at the University of Florence: top marks (110/110 cum laude) 2004 - Ph.D. degree at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Florence (Italy). "Geochemical and isotopic characterization of the magmatic source of Central-Southern Italy". Supervisor: Prof. Sandro Conticelli 2004-2006: Post-doc Research Assistant - Department of Earth Sciences, University of Florence (Italy); supervisor Prof. Sandro Conticelli 2006-2008: Marie Curie Research Fellow - Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol (UK); supervisor: Prof. Tim Elliott 2008-2009: Research Assistant - Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol (UK); supervisors: Prof. Chris Hawkesworth, Prof. Tim Elliott 2009-2013: "Brain Returns" Fellow - Department of Earth Sciences, University of Florence (Italy).
Research Interest
Petrology, volcanology and geochemistry of volcanic rocks with the aim of elucidating: genetic processes of magma and their relationship with geodynamic processes, mantle composition, pre-eruptive mechanisms in active volcanoes, feeding systems of active and quiescent volcanoes and timescales of magma generation and storage . Isotope geochemistry of wine, grapes, olives and olive oil and their soil and geological substrate aimed at the geographical traceability of agricultural products and wine terroir.
