My research revolves around tropical cyclones. I am interested in understanding their formation in marginally favorable environments, in particular during the early and late part of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Along with it, I study their impact once they make landfall using a fully coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean model.
I was born in Crevacuore (Italy) where I spent the first 19 years of my life. In my childhood, I have developed a deep interest for weather phenomena, snowstorms in particular. To purse my passion, I moved to Scotland where I received my B.Sc. with Honors in Geophysics and Meteorology from the University of Edinburgh. I later moved to Berlin, where I spent two years as a GeoSim fellow at the Freie Universität Berlin working on the development of Medicanes. In 2016, I moved to Seattle as a visiting student at the UW Department of Atmospheric Science. I finally joined the department and the Prof. Chen's research group in 2017. When I am not studying tropical cyclones, I am most likely watching sports or fishing.
