Postdoctoral research fellow at the University of L’Aquila. Since completing his master's degree, he has been working on biomass exploitation for the production of biofuels and value-added products. The main research topics are hydrothermal carbonization and gasification of biomass. The activities include experimental tests at a laboratory scale, investigation of the gasification performance at a pilot-scale plant, and process simulations. He is currently involved in H2020 BLAZE and GICO projects funded by EU.
