Curriculum vitae

2005-Present PhD student in Atmospheric Chemistry
01/1998-05/1998 Chemical Analyst at the Bergamo Environmental Service: Chromatography,Atomic Absorption-Emission, Biology for water quality
07/1998 Diploma in Chemistry at G.Natta high-school institute : Analyst for industrial chemistry, water and air quality.
07/2002 European project for Urban Air Quality with the Particulate Matter Researcher Group, University of Milan-Bicocca Air Particles analysis
07/2004 Degree in Environmental Science, Atmospheric specialization at the University of Milano-Bicocca: Msc Thesis in high Alps sites to investigate the atmospheric dynamics of the dust in middle-lower troposphere
Since 2002 I give my volunteering contribute as Instructor of Alpinism to the L.Pellicioli National School of Alpinism ,
Also I was involved in the Mato Grosso Operation which helps needy people in South America and I hope to give an hand again in the future
I have done also several "non scientific" jobs which I enjoyed so much:
Gardener, Manson, Carpenter, Barman (Italy-UK), Woodman, Doorman, Driver and Vagabond!

Research Interests

Investigation of organic trace gas budgets in the atmosphere with Isotope techniques
Methane & vegetation, understanding sources and sinks
CF-IRMS, GC and Cavity ring-down Spectroscopy applications
Field campaings for Eddy Covariance fluxes determination
Climbing
