Laureato in Progettazione e Gestione del Verde Urbano e del Paesaggio (LM) presso l’Università di Pisa nel 2015, abilitato alla libera professione di Agronomo. Vincitore del Premio di Laurea “Gino Melani” in Progettazione e Gestione del Verde Urbano e del Paesaggio (anno 2018). Ha conseguito il titolo di Dottore di Ricerca (SSD: AGR03) presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Alimentari e Agro-ambientali (Università di Pisa) nel Dicembre 2019 con tesi dal titolo Anthocyanin presence influences physiological and metabolic leaf processes in a red morph of Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. Assegnista di Ricerca (SSD: AGR03) presso Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Alimentari e Agro-ambientali (Università di Pisa, anno 2020 e 2022). Vincitore di concorso per Ricercatore a Tempo Determinato di tipo a) (SSD: AGR03) nell'ambito del Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR) National Biodiversity Future Center-CN5, e presa in servizio dal 15 Dicembre 2022 presso il DAGRI dell’Università di Firenze.

Principale linea di studio: Meccanismi fisiologici, biochimici e molecolari di risposta delle piante arboree a stress di natura abiotica e biotica. In questa linea di ricerca emergono chiare tematiche principali, come di seguito dettagliate: i) - Studio del processo fotosintetico in specie vegetali esposte a stress abiotici e biotici (stress idrico, stress salino, differenti qualità e quantità di luce); ii) Valutazione del ruolo fisiologico degli antociani in piante arboree; iii) Valutazione dell’impatto dell’inquinamento luminoso urbano su specie arboree.

Ha soggiornato presso il Plant & Food Research, Auckland (Nuova Zelanda; anno 2018/2019) per 7 mesi ai fini di ricerca.

L’attività di ricerca è documentata da pubblicazioni scientifiche e in atti di congressi (https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57192063751).
