Ecologist, conservationist, young researcher. I work on human dimensions of wildlife conservation and management and my researches focus on social and ecological aspects of the human-wildlife interactions. I had various international experiences, working in Slovenia (University of Ljubljana), Finland (Finnish Museum of Natural History) and Spain (Joint Research Institute for Biodiversity). I worked as a research fellow at the University of Turin.

News plays a major role in the human perception of wildlife and biodiversity. A balanced and accurate communication about health risk involving bats is fundamental to both mitigate the spread of diseases and render conservation efforts for bats more effective, that are the results that I will try to achieve with my PhD project.
