Bachelor’s degree in Biological Science in by University of Urbino, and Master’s degree in Biodiversity and Evolution in by University of Bologna with full marks. Current enrolled in Master’s degree in Biostatistics by University of Lisbon. During the academic years I improved knowledge of R Studio, Mega, Mesquite, Fig Tree, Past, and different GIS software. From July 2023 I collaborate with Dr Clara Grilo and her team, on BIOPOLIS-CIBIO research group. From August 2024 I am involved developing species detection device through fieldwork to record and analyse signals of the target species, ensuring accurate data collection. Collaboration with engineers to integrate biological insights, to develop a detective device, refining its sensitivity and specificity. Validation of the device's performance through rigorous testing in natural environments. During 2022, I attend 2 Erasmus+ programs at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (FCT NOVA), performing a Statistic Analysis project and a 3D reconstruction of fossil material. High School Diploma in Information Technology by I.I.S.S. of Martina Franca, where I gained knowledge in data analysis programs and various operating systems, namely Windows, iOS and Linux, My SQL, Python, C ++, JavaScript, Blue Java, SQL, PHP, HTML, XML, XSL, and Assembly. During 2023 I concluded the Certificate Course named Ecological Transition Manager, by EIIS - European Institute of Innovation for Sustainability. November 2023 to February 2024, I performed a Data Analytics Intern for OESON company, improving knowledge and experience in the use of important analytic software as Excel, Python, Tableau, MySQL, and Power BI. November 2019 to June 2021, I worked for an aquaculture company, being involved in the reproduction cycle of the production of fish species, management of feeding, control of environmental parameters and cleaning for specimens in the Larvae and Fry stages. 2022/01 participation in a scientific expedition to Djibouti through the Centro Studi Squali of Massa Marittima (GR), under the supervision of Professor Micarelli Primo. Census and identification of specimens of Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus), specific course of "Biology of Elasmobranchs" and focus on the R. typus species. I improved Information Technology skills processing data through I3S program and soft skills, namely teamwork. 2020/09 I got a Genome Engineering Course by CRISPR Advanced Certificate Program. 2020/12 Three courses of Safety, about job, university and laboratory, certificated by Cesia organization. Knowledge of the processes of bacterial culture, sterilization and disinfection of materials. 2023/04 I got the GIS Basics Certificate by ESRI Training. 2023/06 I got the Green Digital Skills Certificate Course, by INCO Academy. 2023/08 I got an Advanced Diploma in Geographic Information Systems by Alison school.
