I am a Senior Research Scientist, at INGV, in the field of geomagnetism and Solar-Terrestrial physics. From 2007 to 2014 I was head of INGV’s Research Unit: Geomagnetism, which is involved in geomagnetic field measurements in magnetic observatories and repeat stations, as well as the analysis and study of several phenomena related to the geomagnetic field. From 2014 to 2017 I was designed Scientific Coordinator of the INGV-Environment Department's activity line "Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism." My research focuses on changes of the Earth's magnetic field that occur on time scales from minutes to millennia, exploring both observational and theoretical aspects. One of my primary interests lies in Space Physics, with a focus on the dynamics of the Earth’s magnetosphere, the processes due to the Sun-Earth interaction and space weather phenomena. In particular my studies are devoted to emergence of nonlinear and complex dynamics in the Earth’s processes in response to the solar wind changes using data recorded on the ground and in space. In the last years, I used the Earth’s magnetic field fluctuations as well as electron density fluctuations recorded by the ESA Swarm constellation to provide a multiparametric characterization of turbulence and complexity in the F-region of the ionosphere.
