I come from Genova and I completed my undergraduate degree in Natural Science at Sapienza University of Rome.

My thesis title is "Physiological and behavioural bioassays to evaluate the potential use of the Sterile Insect Technique for the control of the invasive species Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)"

My studies will focus on sexual and communication behavior in insects for the environmentally sound control of species noxious in agriculture.

Project title: Exploitation of mating interference for biological control of Bagrada hilaris (BIOBAG)

Department and supervisor : University of Trento, C3A, Prof. Gianfranco Anfora.
