Professor of Petrology and Volcanology at the University of Perugia. My research advances quantitative igneous petrology and volcanology through analytical investigation of natural samples, numerical modelling, experimental approaches, and machine learning, with applications to magma dynamics, volcanic hazard, risk mitigation, and critical raw materials. Over the past decade, I have published more than 100 articles in leading international scientific journals and authored two books. Over the past few years, I have secured approximately €6 million in competitive funding. I conceived and currently coordinate the MSCA REALISE Doctoral Network and the REALI3SE Staff Exchange, two of the largest recent collaborative efforts in igneous petrology.
REALISE is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network training 15 Doctoral Candidates to explore the potential of Artificial Intelligence in Igneous Petrology - read more about REALISE Doctoral Network
