Associate Professor at the University of Torino, teaching Climate Physics for the Bachelor degree in Physics and for the master degree in Physics of the Complex Systems.

Degree in Physics (2003) and PhD in Physics Modeling for Environmental Protection (2008) at the University of Bologna. Researcher at CNR-ISAC from 2011 to 2021.

She works on the study of the climate system and Earth-System processes, with a special focus on the current and future evolution of the water cycle in mountain regions. Her research interests include the study of precipitation and of the elevation-dependent warming – the amplified warming observed in the high-altitude regions. The main objective of her studies is to understand how the mountain ecosystems might change under different climate change scenarios and what the consequences for downstream societies could be. She is co-coordinator of the Collaborative Programme “Changes in the hydrological cycle” of the European Climate Research Alliance (ECRA) and of the GEO-Mountains Initiative of the Group on Earth Observations.

She carries out scientific dissemination activities with workshops, conferences, seminars addressed to different audiences and to students. She is author of the book “Perchè la Terra ha la febbre?”, published by Editoriale Scienza (2019).
