I am an Italian researcher and I started working at the Hercules laboratory of the University of Évora in 2014. During this period, I had the chance to grow professionally, to apply the scientific knowledge that I acquired during my undergraduate and masters¿ degrees at Padova University. Moreover, I consolidated the interdisciplinary experience that I gained in ceramic archaeology and archaeometry during the IMQP Erasmus Mundus Master in Portugal (Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro University) and abroad (France-MNHN, Italy-Florentine Museum of Prehistory/ Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Tuscany, The Philippines - University of the Philippines Diliman). I also strengthen my knowledge in Earth Sciences thanks to a mobility/training period at the Chemical and Geological Sciences Department of the University of Cagliari (Italy). I did different studies on cultural heritage and geological materials, and I acquired a strong laboratory ability in samples preparation and characterization using several methods and analytical techniques (petrography, XRD, XRF, SEM-EDS, ICP-MS, LA-ICP-MS, FT-IR, µRaman), in addition to different physical and mechanical tests (Helium pycnometry, water vapour permeability, mechanical strength). Moreover, I also participated in several research projects with a different focus (Imagos ¿ ALENT/07/0224/FEDER/001761; InCarbon - PTDC/CTA/GEO/31853/2017; IberianTin- PTDC/HAR/ARQ/32290/2017; Antecipa - ALT20/03/0246/FEDER/000070). In all cases, my expertise was important, and it helped in the spreading of different scientific outputs. Thanks to the development of my PhD thesis, I gave a fundamental contribution to the understanding of Islamic ceramics in Portugal, namely in what concern to raw material selection and use for ceramic production, ceramic provenance, glazed decoration characteristics, and the preservation of craftsmanship know-how since the Islamic period to local traditional ceramic productions. I also collaborated in the study of different cultural heritage materials such as mortars, pigment identification, metals analysis using a portable XRF, rocks characterization, and no-destructive analysis on painting and photographs. At present, I am carrying on my studies on Islamic glazed ceramics in the framework of the Paradise (Hercules Laboratory) and Puma (University of Évora) projects.
