I am a zoology researcher primarily interested in the movement and spatial behaviour of vertebrates, with a particular focus on amphibians and reptiles. Biologging is at the core of my work: I use and test tools such as VHF radio transmitters, accelerometers, magnetometers and GPS devices to understand how animals move, which habitats they use and how they organise their activities in the wild.

An important part of my research involves developing tracking methods suitable for small-bodied species and assessing how monitoring devices may affect animal behaviour and performance. By integrating movement data, field observations and spatial analyses, I investigate trajectories, home ranges and activity periods, producing information that can support population monitoring and conservation.

I also collaborate on the LIFE EOLIZARD project, which is dedicated to the conservation of the Aeolian wall lizard, Podarcis raffonei. Within the project, I contribute to research and monitoring activities aimed at improving our understanding of the species’ ecology and supporting the planned conservation actions.
