I received my MSc degree in Nuclear and Particle physics at Milano-Bicocca University. My background ranged from applied particle physics to environmental radioactivity and high-energy physics. My work at the Triga Mark II nuclear fission reactor in Pavia (Italy) lead my in contact with the ice core science world.

I did my PhD and a postdoc at the Center for Ice and Climate in Copenhagen (Denmark) working on Continuous Flow Analysis systems and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy for the detection of chemical tracers in ice cores for past sea ice reconstructions.

From 2020 to 2022 I carried out a Marie Curie Fellowship at the University of Venice with a project on Artificial Intelligence techniques applied to ice core analyses (ICELEARNING).

Since 01/09/2022 I am PI of the ICENET project on glacier modeling using deep neural networks, at the National Research Council (Institute of Polar Sciences), in collaboration with the University of California, Irvine. I am particularly passionate about deep learning and tackling Earth System Science problems using AI methodologies.
