My research focuses on understanding active volcanoes, with the aim of advancing knowledge of both volcanic hazards and potential resources. I adopt an integrated approach that combines gas geochemistry, tephrostratigraphy, petrology, and structural analysis, with a particular emphasis on the magma evolution of poorly studied volcanoes. My work is grounded in detailed field investigations and complemented by geochronological, geochemical, textural, and sedimentological data.

By investigating the timescales of volcanic activity, I seek to unravel the processes that govern magma evolution and ultimately lead to eruptions. Through the analysis of volcanic deposits and emitted gases, I examine their physical, petrological, and geochemical characteristics, providing key insights into eruptive dynamics and the storage conditions of magmatic reservoirs before, during, and after eruption.
