I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Geology from Texas A&M University (College Station, TX), with additional coursework in Oceanography, and a Master’s in Earth Dynamics and Environmental Geology from the Università degli Studi di Padova. During my master’s, I specialized in sedimentology, paleoclimatology, and remote sensing, conducting thesis research on Pleistocene paleoclimate variability (Gelasian Stage, ~2.588 Ma) using isotopic analysis (δ¹⁸O, δ¹³C) of microfossils (foraminifera) from Gela, Sicily.
Currently, as a PhD candidate at Università di Roma Sapienza, I focus on AI-driven Earth Observation for monitoring rapidly changing landscapes. My work leverages Sentinel-1/2 data and landslide inventories to develop Deep Learning (DL) models for rapid landslide detection and mapping in Italy. As a visiting researcher, I aim to bridge geoscience with cutting-edge EO technologies to enhance hazard response and environmental resilience.
