I am an Associate Professor of Agricultural Chemistry at the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences (DISTAL), University of Bologna. My research focuses on soil chemistry, organic matter dynamics, and nutrient recycling, particularly through composting, anaerobic digestion, and the valorization of agro-industrial residues. I have co-authored numerous publications on the agronomic use of compost and digestate, nutrient recovery, and soil organic carbon stability. My academic path includes research periods abroad at leading European universities, where I deepened my expertise in sustainable soil management and the circular use of bio-resources. My work aims to develop innovative fertilizers and soil amendments that enhance soil health and promote sustainable agricultural systems. Through teaching and collaboration, I strive to integrate scientific research with environmental responsibility and societal needs, contributing to a more circular and resilient agri-food sector.
