I am actively seeking to join a research project under the Biodiversa+ Joint Call 2025–2026, particularly in the areas of forest ecology and ecosystem restoration. I am interested in interdisciplinary projects focused on forest resilience, post-disturbance recovery, soil-vegetation interactions, and restoration strategies in Mediterranean and other climate-stressed ecosystems. I bring expertise in long-term ecological monitoring, soil science, and sustainable forest management, with experience in both experimental and applied contexts.
