Professor at Bologna University at the Department of Chemistry "Giacomo Ciamician" and Director of the BRAVHO Lab.
She took her Ph.D. in Archeology at Leiden University, Netherlands in collaboration with MPI-Department of Human Evolution in Leipzig, Germany.
She undertakes cutting-edge radiocarbon research and leads joint projects between MPI Department of Human Evolution and MPI Department of Genetics, involving collaborative ancient DNA work.
In more than ten years of work experience within MPI groups she developed strong expertise not only in the study of human evolution and in geosciences, but also in design and coordination of research projects with experts from worldwide to solve scientific debates through the solid cohesion of different disciplines.
She supervised at the MPI an important and very innovative PhD project, to improve dramatically radiocarbon dating on bone collagen by sampling minute amounts of bone, using the new CO2 gas system connected to the AMS-MICADAS in collaboration with Prof E. Bard at CEREGE (Aix-en-Provence).
Last but not least, as an Italian, she enjoys creativity, cultures rich in arts, her family, and in the past living in Germany, she loves the definition of details and precision. Moreover, as a scientist, she likes the synergy of the precious elements, which will contribute to reaching her goals, and as an archaeologist, she loves to plan the future using the knowledge of the past.
