I am currently a post-doc at the University of Konstanz (Konstanz, Germany), in the group lead by Professor Axel Meyer.
Previously I had obtained a Doctorate in Evolutionary Biology and some post-doctoral experience at the University of Catania (Catania, Italy) under the guidance of my PhD advisor, Professor Venera Ferrito, and in the research group lead by Professor Concetta Tigano.
My doctoral thesis dealt with patterns of molecular and morphological variation at the Mediterranean scale in a small and common (at least in most of the Mediterranean Sea) fish species: Coris julis (Teleostei, Labridae).
My research interests are quite various. For personal reasons (my long-standing interest in fish as an hobbyist fishkeeper) I like working with fish but, apart from this, I get fascinated by various topics.
In general, I tend to be interested in the relationships between phenotype, genotype and environment.
I explore such relationships with various tools like the analysis of DNA sequences, environmental variables and geometric morphometrics.
In particular, my perspective tends often to be phenotype-centered and I have an enthusiastic interest in geometric morphometrics that goes well beyond its use as a simple tool in research.
