Ricercatore in Tenure-Track (RTT) in Geologia Strutturale e Tettonica presso il Dipartimento di Scienze. Laureato magistrale in Scienze e Tecnologie Geologiche e dottore di ricerca in Earthquake & Environmental Hazards con titolo aggiuntivo di International Doctor of Philosophy, ha svolto attività post-dottorato dal 2021 al 2024 presso l’Università “G. d’Annunzio” di Chieti-Pescara ed ha conseguito l'abilitazione scientifica nazionale a Professore Associato nel SSD 04/GEOS-02 (Geologia Strutturale e Tettonica) nel 2023.
La sua attività scientifica si concentra su geologia strutturale, tettonica attiva, sismotettonica e topografia ad alta risoluzione, integrando osservazioni geologiche, geochimiche, geofisiche, e di remote sensing per lo studio della deformazione tettonica della crosta terrestre. Ha svolto periodi di ricerca all’estero presso l’Arizona State University e ha esperienze di ricerca sul campo in Italia, negli Stati Uniti (Arizona, California, Idaho) ed in Turchia, dove ha collaborato con la European Earthquake Geologists Task-Force per il terremoto della Turchia-Siria del 2023.
E’ Principal Investigator del progetto FIS-2 “DEFENS”, Finanziato dal Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca, che ha tra gli obiettivi quello di sviluppare un toolkit innovativo e multidisciplinare che integri dati da geologia strutturale, geochimica, paleosismologia e modellazione numerica avanzata ad elementi finiti per simulare i cicli sismici e la dinamica della fagliazione su scala nazionale, fornendo scenari realistici e geologicamente vincolati su possibili futuri terremoti.
Collabora attivamente con istituzioni internazionali, tra cui la School of Earth and Space Exploration dell’Arizona State University (Stati Uniti), l’University College of London (Regno Unito), il National Observatory of Athens (Grecia), il United States Geological Survey (USGS, Stati Uniti), la University of Sharjah, (Emirati Arabi Uniti), e nazionali, tra cui il Dipartimento di Protezione Civile, il CNR e diverse università italiane.
