Trained in the USA, with work experiences in Switzerland, I’m currently Associate Professor in Zoology at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”.
I am a biogeographer and a macro-ecologist, but I’m also interested in conservation biology from local to continental/global spatial scales. Recently I’ve been working also in evolutionary biology and paleoecology.
My research is mainly focused on terrestrial vertebrates and mediterranean ecosystems, with a strong emphasis on statistical analyses in a spatially explicit context.
