I am a PhD student in Earth and Environmental Sciences specializing in Odonates.

My research is focused on the morphological variation of odonates in relationship with climate change, using geometric morphometric techniques in order to better understand their evolution and adaptation to the environment.

My aim is to contribute to the understanding of evolutionary phenomena using odonates as models.

Postdoc (2022-2023). Now Associate Professor at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia

I am a vertebrate paleontologist and evolutionary biologist specializing in the use of quantitative shape analysis, phylogenetic comparative methods and finite elements analysis. My work is focused on understanding the adaptation and evolution of subterranean mammals, but also spans to the feeding biomechanics of birds of prey, brain shape evolution and skull integration in primates as well as the feeding biomechanics in marsupial and placental carnivores.
