Short Bio

PhD student in Cultural and Environmental Heritage, XXXVI cycle.

My research project focuses on the use of ancient DNA data to reconstruct human population on the prehistoric Mediterranean. My research in the field of molecular anthropology and paleogenetics is carried out at the Ancient DNA Laboratory of Ravenna. I use molecular techniques for the extraction of ancient DNA, construction of genomic libraries, enrichment of target fractions (SNPs-mtDNA) and development of bioinformatics tools for NGS data analysis.

As an archaeologist, I am involved in archaeological expeditions in Italy (Riparo del Broion, Vicenza; Grotta di Uluzzo C, Lecce; Grotta della Monaca, Cosenza), Jordan (Jebel al-Mutawwaq) and Cyprus (Erimi Laonin tou Porakou).
