My interest focuses on the field of microbial ecology, currently with a focus on airborne microorganisms. My research is aimed at exploring the temporal dynamics of microbial communities and their relationship with global change vectors, as well as the diversity and types of microorganisms that can withstand and travel long distances, dispersing through the air.

PROJECTS
AEROSMIC studies the functional traits present in the aerial microbiota with long-range dispersal in the free troposphere using one of the largest long-term data sets available at a high mountain point above the boundary layer collected by our own group of investigation.
INTERACTOMA proposes computational approaches that exploit the co-occurrence of genes with known and unknown function and the environmental co-occurrence of different microbial species to generate hypotheses and prioritize future research objectives with ecological or biotechnological interest, using saline lakes and lakes as model systems. alpines, as well as the microbiome of animal and plant host species along climatic and geographic gradients.
