About me.
I'm a Geoenergy Engineer (MSc, Politecnico di Torino) bridging petroleum engineering and the energy transition. I turn legacy subsurface data into decision-support tools for geothermal energy and carbon storage.
My research repurposes the data and infrastructure of the oil and gas era — from screening dozens of legacy wells in the Po Plain for geothermal reuse, to building open-source Python tools designed to be traceable, validated, and honest about their uncertainty.

Featured research directions.
Three areas where I'm actively reading, modeling, and shipping.
Carbon Capture & Storage
CO₂ storage in depleted reservoirs and saline aquifers — capacity estimation, integrity assurance, and long-term monitoring.
Legacy Wells
Re-qualification, repurposing, and safe abandonment of ageing wells for geothermal production and carbon storage.
