Her research focuses on the integration of applied ethology and precision livestock farming, with particular attention to the analysis of daily activities and behavioural patterns in dairy cows. Her scientific work centres on the design and validation of smart collars and multisensor systems, developed to continuously and in real time collect behavioural, feeding, and environmental data.
Through the use of advanced sensors, digital tools, and automated data-processing methods, the aim is to accurately describe these patterns, promptly identify changes indicative of animal welfare status, and promote more sustainable and efficient farm management.
In parallel, her research activity extends to veterinary education, exploring the use of digital tools, social media, innovative technologies, and survey-based approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of training methods and to develop more interactive and engaging educational practices.
