I am an interdisciplinary Environmental scientist working at the frontiers between Hydrology and Food System Sustainability. My research interests span the field of Water-Food-Energy nexus using spatial data science and hydrological modelling at regional to global scale. As a Research Fellow, I was Departmental Guest at Princeton University (2022-2023), University College London (2016) and University of Virginia (2013). Since 2021 (3 years after obtaining my Ph.D.), I hold a faculty position at the Politecnico di Torino.

I am a Post-Doctoral Researcher in Environmental Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, where I received my PhD in 2025 with a thesis evaluating the impacts of food loss and waste in agri-food systems across the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus. My research focuses on natural resources management within the WEFE Nexus framework, with particular emphasis on sustainable irrigation, food systems sustainability, and water resource management. During my PhD, I developed NETFLOW (Network-based Evaluation Tool for Food Loss and Waste), a modelling framework that tracks ecological footprints along globalized food value chains. In my past work, I collaborated in on EU-funded research projects, including the H2020 LEAP-RE RE4AFAGRI project on renewable energy for African agriculture. At present, my research within TIP-FRESH focuses on applying network-based approaches to trace environmental impacts through food supply chains and developing decision-support tools for sustainable agricultural development.

I am a PhD student in Agro-Hydrology, working within the TIP-FRESH project, at the Politecnico di Torino (since November 2025). My research focuses on the Water–Food nexus, with particular attention to water use for food production and its consequences on the hydrological cycle. My background is multidisciplinary, and I have a strong interest in the climate crisis, modelling, science dissemination, and science for policy. In October 2025, I completed a Master’s degree in Environmental and Land Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino. My master’s thesis examined the role of agriculture as a source of precipitation in downwind regions and was developed in collaboration with the Water To Food Lab at the DIATI and the Water Resilience group at the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
