Dal 1° Novembre 2018 sono ricercatore (rtd-b) di petrologia e petrografia (ssd Geo07), presso il Dipartimento di Geoscienze dell’Università di Padova. Mi occupo di metamorfismo di alta temperatura e formazione di magmi granitici. Attualmente le principali aree di studio sono Alpi, Cordigliera Betica, Himalaya e Sudafrica. Per la mia ricerca integro osservazioni di campagna, osservazioni al microscopio, analisi di laboratorio, petrologia sperimentale e modellizzazione termodinamica.
