Post-Doc researcher at Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna.
Didactic tutor for Geological Sciences PLS, BiGeA Department. Didactic tutor for the course Stone Material Characterisation, M.Sc. in Cultural Heritage Conservation-Restoration Science.
He made his research in the fields of structural geology, tectonics and geodynamics. He uses a multidisciplinary approach, integrating low-temperature thermochronology, thermal maturity analyses on the sedimentary successions and thermal modelling of wells data with indicators deriving from stratigraphy, structural interpretation of seismic lines and structural analyses in order to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of selected portions of the Caucasian region. The study area comprises the Georgian side of the western Kura Basin, the Adjara-Trialeti fold-and-thrust belt and the southern-central Greater Caucasus.
