I am a PhD candidate in Agricultural Hydraulics and Hydraulic-Forestry Systems at the University of Bologna, where my research focuses on irrigation management, soil hydrology, and the integration of heterogeneous data sources for agricultural decision support.
My work investigates how different data streams, such as soil moisture measurements, weather data, and simulation models, can be combined to improve the reliability and transferability of irrigation management strategies under different environmental conditions.
I hold a Master’s degree in Precision and Sustainable Agriculture from the University of Bologna, where I developed a strong interest in data-driven approaches to agricultural systems. My thesis explored the performance of Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensor for soil moisture monitoring and its integration with data collection and processing pipelines based on semantic architectures.
I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies from the University of Turin, with a focus on irrigation efficiency in horticultural systems.
In parallel with my academic activities, I have been involved in applied research and innovation as an agronomist at VAIMEE S.r.l., contributing to the development of digital tools for irrigation management and environmental monitoring. My work has included the analysis and integration of environmental data, as well as the design of decision support systems aimed at improving water use efficiency.
I am co-author of scientific contributions focused on soil moisture monitoring and its applications in precision agriculture. My research activity to date has addressed topics including soil–plant–atmosphere interactions, irrigation management, and the use of innovative technologies for environmental monitoring in agricultural contexts. My broader research interests lie in digital agriculture and the development of data-informed approaches to support sustainable and efficient agricultural and irrigation practices.
