Research: Archaeology and LiDAR: Study and application of remote sensing models for a census of protohistoric human settlements. Knowledge, enhancement and communication of widespread and invisible archaeological heritage.

Ph.D. candidate in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Archaeology at Sapienza University of Rome, where I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees with honors. My research focuses on LiDAR applications in archaeology, with particular emphasis on settlement patterns in Central Italy's mountainous areas. My doctoral research advances the study of Central Italy through drone-based LiDAR technology and reconstructs mountain settlement patterns between the 2nd and 1st millennia BCE, prior to urbanization phases.

Since 2014, I have worked as photography, data management, and topography supervisor in numerous archaeological campaigns throughout Italy (Arcevia, Cannatello, Vulci, Frattesina, Amendolara, Gazzo Veronese, Lucone di Polpenazze) and abroad (Misis - Turkey and Crete with CNR). Results from both Bachelor's and Master's theses have been presented at the 58th Scientific Meeting of the Italian Institute of Prehistory and Protohistory "Prehistory and Protohistory of Umbria".
