Role
Associate Professor of Climate Physics at the Department of Physics, University of Turin
Bio
After graduating in Physics in 2003, she earned her PhD in 2008 from the University of Bologna in collaboration with ISAC-CNR, specializing in the study of atmospheric pollutants, remote sensing, and atmospheric circulation, also through projects of the European Space Agency (ESA). From 2011 to 2021, she was a permanent researcher at the CNR at the ISAC headquarters in Turin, before becoming an associate professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Turin, where she teaches Climate Physics and Climate System Dynamics and Modeling .
Her research analyzes climate change with a specific focus on mountain regions , considered sentinels of global warming. He studies the amplification of temperature increases at high altitudes, precipitation variations, and their impact on the cryosphere and water resources , combining experimental approaches and advanced modeling tools.
Co-coordinator of the global GEO-Mountains network and the ECRA initiative on the hydrological cycle from 2016 to 2024, she is the author of over 50 international publications. In 2017, she received the Gian Giacomo Drago and Fausta Rivera Drago Award from the Lombardy Institute for the relevance of her climate research.
