I hold a Ph.D. in Civil and Industrial Engineering at University of Calabria, IT. Here I also obtained my Master’s Degree in Transportation Engineering in 2020. Recently, I have spent a research period at University of Minho, PT. Currently, I hold a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Calabria, IT. My research activities deal with sustainable road pavements, focusing on cold bituminous asphalt treatments (microsurfacing), the study of bio binders as alternative to bitumen in asphalt mixtures, and the characterization of road surface performance. Among the others research activities, my research has focused on microsurfacing, highlighted by the development of a novel laboratory instrument for microsurfacing application. This instrument is patented under the number WO 2024/231802 A1. I actively contribute to the professional association of SIIV (Italian Society of Transportation Infrastructures).
