He holds a degree (MSc) in Biological Sciences at the II University of Rome in 1990.
From 1990 to 1995 he had a fellowship at the Central Institute of Marine Research
(ICRAM) in fishery biology, being involved in several aspects of biology and ecology
of Antarctic and Mediterranean fishes. He participated to field activities and laboratory
work within research programs concerning fish resources management and biological conservation in marine protected areas. Since 1996 he has a permanent position of
scientist at IRPEM (now Institute of Marine Science, ISMAR) of the National Research
Council (CNR). Currently he is involved as principal investigator (PI) or co-PI
in studies on age determination, reproductive biology and feeding ecology of Antarctic
and Mediterranean fish species funded by the EC, MIUR and PNRA. He works together
with foreign scientists on Antarctic topics, having participated to international
Antarctic research cruises in the Ross Sea (Italy, aboard of Italica),
in the South Shetland islands (Germany, aboard of Polarstern) and Antarctic
Peninsula (USA, aboard of Yuzhmorgeologya). In Italy, he collaborates with
other colleagues from University (Ancona, Trieste, Genova) and CNR Institutes. Since
2006, he is in the Executive Board of the polar network of CNR (Polarnet). He collaborates
as reviewer for several peer-review journal on fisheries and polar science. Finally,
he is author/coauthor of more than 40 publications on peer review journal (JCR).

He holds a degree (MSc) in Biological Sciences from the University of Ancona. Expert
in efficiency and selectivity research; fishing gear technology; fishing gear design;
physical and biological impacts produced in the marine environment by human activities.
He has been responsible scientist or involved in several EU and national research
projects on bottom trawl performance and selectivity. He has published in many international
journals and he is on the scientific committee of the international conferences
on fishing engineering IMAM 2007. Since 2005 he is head of the Fishing Technology
Unit at the Institute of Marine Sciences (ISMAR, Ancona) of the National Research
Council (CNR). From 2000 to 2002 he was scientific responsible for 3 research projects
financed by the ECC to study the Northern krill in collaboration with the
Norwegian Univ.
of Science and Technology. From
1994 participated at 3 oceanographic research for studying
the krill biometry. He is author of more than 25 scientific papers and reports.
Since 1999 he is stand member of the Italian Society of Marine Biology and since
2002 he is an official Member of the ICES Working Group on Fishing Technology and
Fishing Behaviour.
