Research Interests:

• Model reduction and AI/ML surrogate models
• Uncertainty and sensitivity of complex models
• Hydrogeochemical modelling and reactive transport
• Simulation of coupled processes in the underground
• Programming and development of scientific models
• Geostatistics andspatial statistics

I develop and maintain several research software projects, among others:

• RedModRphree, geochemical modelling in R based on PHREEQC
• POET, massively parallel HPC reactive transport models, developed in cooperation with computer scientists of Potsdam University

Career:

• Since 2008: Research Associate, German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), Potsdam
• Since 2022: Lecturer at FU Berlin (Introduction to hydrogeochemical modelling with PHREEQC)

Education:

• 2008: Doctorate in Geostatistics jointly from Bologna University (Italy) and Mines ParisTech (France). Dissertation (Ital./French): Influence of spatial variability on reactive transport
  
• 2002: Diploma ( Ingegneria per l'Ambiente e il Territorio), Bologna University (Italy)
