Undergraduate studies in Biology from Roma Tre University. Master's degree in biodiversity and ecosystem management from Roma Tre University that led to a PhD in studying Patterns of alien species invasion in Mediterranean Europe. During my PhD, I explored the species distribution modelling technique and was particularly interested in niche shifts for alien species. 

I am a Research Associate on the GALLANT project applying advanced statistical machine learning techniques to help Glasgow become a thriving and ecologically sustainable city. 

My main research interests are: 

• Machine learning techniques and specifically sentiment analyses
• Niche shift studies
• Ecology of alien species 

Research groups

• Statistics & data analytics
• Modelling in space & time
• Machine learning & AI
• Environmental, ecological sciences & sustainability
