Computational Geoenergy Engineer.
I'm a Geoenergy Engineer (MSc, Politecnico di Torino) with a Twin Track Minor in Digital Technologies for Environmental Applications (D-TEA). I work at the intersection of subsurface physics, data science, and the energy transition.
My research focuses on geothermal energy, carbon capture & storage, and the reuse of legacy wells — combining numerical modeling with uncertainty quantification in Python, FEFLOW, QGIS, and Petrel.
