Marine geologist and geophysicist with experience in interpreting geophysical data (medium and high-resolution seismic) and petrophysical characterization, primarily applied to seismic stratigraphy and structural geology of continental margins, particularly in the northern Ionian region.

She has been working for over ten years in the field of CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage), specializing in the geological characterization of storage sites. She has served as a work package leader and coordinator for European projects and privately funded research projects focusing on the characterization of storage sites in Italy, both onshore and offshore.

She represents the OGS (Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale) at the operation center of the ECCSEL ERIC research infrastructure, European Research Infrastructure for CO2 Capture, Utilization, Transport, and Storage (CCUS). She is the OGS contact person for the EERA CCS Joint Program, a European network that brings together research institutions with expertise in CCS. Additionally, she represents OGS in the "Energy" Technological Cluster established by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR).
