PhD student at the University of Bologna since 2022, she conducts research in the field of traditional and biomolecular archaeozoology, employing methodologies such as the study of ancient DNA and paleoproteomics (ZooMS). Her research interests are particularly focused on the relationship between humans and animals in the past. Currently, she is concentrating her research on the study and enhancement of archaeofaunal remains preserved in museums.
Formation
MSc in Sciences of Natural Systems in 2022 at the University of Turin.
Academic career
After graduating in Sciences of Natural Systems in 2022 at the University of Turin with a thesis entitled "Of bears and men: a biomolecular study of archaeozoological remains from the Cornafessa rock shelter (Trento, Italy)" in collaboration with MUSE - Museo delle Scienze of Trento, she obtained a three-month research scholarship at the Biomolecular Archaeology and Osteology (ArchaeoBiomics) laboratory in Turin, with a project entitled "Biomolecular study of archaeozoological remains". In the same year she won an Erasmus+ Traineeship grant, thanks to which she spent two months at the University of Copenhagen (Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies) working on at the project "Avian Osteology and Geometric-morphometrics in Zooarchaeology".
Didactic activity
During her Master's degree she worked for two academic years on a part-time collaboration with the University of Turin, tutoring during the laboratories of the Mineralogy with Laboratory course.
