I joined the Atmospheric Physics Group of the University of L'Aquila in 1991, and now I'm a member of the staff of the Department of Physics and CETEMPS (Center of Excellence for the integration of remote sensing and numerical modeling for the forecast of severe weather). I teach "Atmospheric Modeling" at the Laurea Magistrale (2nd degree) in "Physics of the Environment and Meteorology".

My research interests centre on numerical modeling of chemical and dynamical processes in the atmosphere. In particular, my work focuses on developing and using global models of the stratosphere based on lagrangian approaches (CAS, DFT, Trajectory Mapping), and three-dimensional atmospheric chemical-transport models (CTMs) containing a detailed description of the chemical processes of the stratosphere. These models are used to interpret data from field campaigns and satellite instruments, and to study and understand specific properties of Earth's atmosphere, with particular regards to the "ozone hole" issue. I also use General Circulation Models to study the impact on global climate of the trend in oceanic surface temperatures.

My Research activities includes participation to various international field campaigns.
