I am a PhD candidate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. I am interested in groundwater hydrology, soil-water interactions, hydrological modeling, and machine learning. My research focuses on soil moisture dynamics and the application of data-driven approaches to better understand groundwater movement. In particular, I integrate high-frequency soil and meteorological field observations with data-driven modeling to investigate soil moisture dynamics under different environmental and vegetation conditions. My research ultimately aims to advance the understanding and prediction of soil-water and groundwater dynamics under changing climatic conditions, with emphasis on the influence of vegetation and meteorological forcing on groundwater hydrological processes.
