About me


I graduated in Biological Sciences in 1999, and defended my PhD thesys in 2005, at the University of Trieste (NE Italy).
Since then I worked at the former Dept. of Biology (now Dept. of Life Sceicnes) of the University of Trieste, dealing mostly with lichens and biodiversity informatics.
I participated to several national and international projects, and coordinated the LIFE+ project CSMON-LIFE.

I'm working on...

LIFE+ CSMON-LIFE (LIFE13 ENV/IT/842)

CSMON-LIFE aimed at enhancing Citizen Science activities in Italy, and has achieved relevant results.
