Short Bio
I am a PhD student in climatology (within the FRONTIERS programme of the University of Bologna) working in collaboration with the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences at the National Research Council (CNR-ISAC) of Bologna. In my project I work on tipping points of the Earth System employing a hierarchy of climate models. Education After my Bachelor's degree in Physics at the University of Pavia (2020), I got my Master's degree in Physics (specialization in Environmental Physics) at the University of Heidelberg in Germany (2023). For my master's thesis, I worked with a group from the University of Tuebingen. I investigated abrup climate changes during the last glacial period using a hierarchy of climate models.
