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. 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 Post-Doctoral Researcher in the TIP-FRESH project at Politecnico di Torino (since September 2026). Within TIP-FRESH, I model how dietary behaviours propagate through social networks and markets, turning individual choices into system-wide tipping points in the global food system; I hold a PhD from the Medical University of Vienna and the Complexity Science Hub Vienna.

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.

I am a PhD student in Environmental Engineering at Politecnico di Torino within the TIP-FRESH team. With a background in environmental economics, I investigate the socio-economic drivers and hydrological impacts of livestock-driven deforestation. By integrating land use change data, hydrological modelling, and livestock supply chain analysis, my work will provide an updated and spatially explicit picture of how global food systems, and the livestock sector in particular, reshape the water cycle.
