In 2003, she obtained her degree in Geological Sciences from the University of Padua with a thesis focused on the biostratigraphy of calcareous nannofossils at the Paleocene-Eocene transition. From 2004 to 2007, she pursued her doctoral studies at the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padua, focusing on the biocronology and paleoenvironmental significance of calcareous nannofossils of the lower Paleogene. From 2007 to 2008, she held a Research Fellowship (renewed) at the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padua, studying the interactions between global changes and the evolution of calcareous nannoplankton during the Eocene. From 2008 to 2014, she served as a university researcher at the Department of Geosciences of the University of Padua, in the disciplinary scientific sector GEO/01. From December 2014 to 2022, she was an Associate Professor at the same University. From 2018 to 2024, she was the Coordinator of the Doctoral Course in Geosciences. Since 2022, she has held the position of Full Professor.

Research Area

Her research field is micropaleontology and she is specifically interested in the study of calcareous nannofossils. This group includes planktic haptophytes able to produce calcareous scales that have been tested to be particularly useful for dating marine sediments as well as for paleoenviromental reconstructions. Over the past years, she have matured particular interest towards climate variability and, within this context, her research is devoted to Cenozoic calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy and biochronology, paleoclimatic significance of calcareous nannofossils and paleoenviromental reconstructions of marine sediments coming from on-land sections (Northern Italy) and ODP Sites.
