I am a geologist with a particular interest in environmental and fluid geochemistry. After a period of traineeship at the University of Florence, where I had my first experience on a landfill site, I have focused my research on environmental issues such as water and air pollution. Landfills continuously produce gaseous (greenhouse gases) and liquid (leachate) pollutants that cause global and local problems (global warming and groundwater and air pollution). From the perspective of circular economy and climate change mitigation, the aim of my research involves the development of an optimized landfill soils treatment process using leachate and sewage sludges produced by depuration plants, to limit biogas emissions into the atmosphere.
