Associate Professor at the University of Turin in Italy and at the University of Helsinki in Finland. In 2013 she got her PhD degree at the University of Naples Federico II on the photodegradation of pollutants in surface waters. After the PhD she worked as post-doc at the ICCF in Clermont-Ferrand, Université Blaise Pascal and at the IRCELYON in Lyon. In this period, her scientific interest moved to the atmospheric science, studying the chemical heterogeneous reactions in the environment (seawater-atmosphere exchanges and air-solid reactions). She is working at the University of Turin since 2019 supervising projects on the environmental impact of micro- and nanoplastics. She obtained an ERC-StG for the project NaPuE, in which she developed a method to study the reactivity of plastic debris toward (sun)light and chemical oxidants, naturally present in the environment and identified the degradation products released and chemical changes on plastic particles.
