Ph.D in Plant and Animal Science, major in Pest Population Modelling, minor in Entomology, currently working as Research Associate (Italian RTDa, SSD AGR/11) in Ecological Modelling and Applied Entomology at Università degli Studi della Tuscia (Viterbo, Italy), Department of Agricultural and Forest Sciences. I'm focusing on the development and validation of mathematical models to describe pests and diseases. This includes the integration of sparse field measurements to improve the accuracy of the predictions. To pursue this aim, I base my research on ODE and PDE equations, numerical analysis and software development using C/C++ and Python programming languages. My main interests are: Mathematical and Computational Biology/Ecology, Pest Monitoring, planning of measurement campaigns, field measurements protocols, High Performance Computing.
