Education:

I was born on the 16th of August 1968 in Palmanova (UD), Italy.
I have an univerisity degree in Physics, and finished my thesis ("Numerical simulations of the origin of the structures in the large scale universe") on february 1994, at Padua University (PD).
In november 1996 I began a contract with the "Centro Servizi Agrometeorologici per il Friuli Venezia Giulia" (CSA), as researcher of the "Thunderstorm and Hail Prevention and Research Center", under the scientific direction of dr. Griffith Morgan, and started my study in Meteorology. On first July 2000 CSA becomed the "Osservatorio Meteorologico Regionale" dell'ARPA Friuli Venezia Giulia (OSMER-ARPA).
