I hold a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies from the University of Milan (Italy) and a master’s degree in Agro-Environmental Sciences (2017) also from the University of Milan. During my master I developed an interest in hydrology, thus my master thesis focussed on the evaluation of LiDAR data for improving a nutrient emission model developed at KU Leuven (Belgium). Prior to starting my PhD at the University of Reading I have had research experiences in China (China Agricultural University, Beijing) and Italy (University of Milan), in both cases focussing on environmental issues. I am also interested in scientific communication, in particular the communication of uncertainty; and closing the gender pay-gap.
I am interested in water and phosphorus management at catchment scale and the use of Bayesian Networks in environmental science. My current PhD project is a joint collaboration between The James Hutton Institute and Teagasc- the Agriculture and Food Development Authority in Ireland.
Since March 2020 I am a PhD Student Rep at Hutton Aberdeen and I also participate in the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion committee meetings.
