My Research

Volcanoes are quite cool. But they can also be pretty annoying.

This being said, my PhD project is articulated around these questions: How can we improve the assessment (and the quantification) of hazard, vulnerability and risk around active volcanoes? What method can we use at what scale, and what will the resulting analysis show? In what measure is it possible to apply academic research in order to support emergency planning and decision making?

I am currently starting the third year of my PhD under the supervision of Costanza Bonadonna. In this project, we focus in developing models for the assessment and the reduction of the volcanic risk on two main case-studies: Iceland and Vulcano (Italy). To this day, most of these questions still need to be answered, and in order to do so, we are using a cocktail of methods coming from different horizons.
