Born in Caracas (Venezuela) on August 1979. Master Degree in Physics at University "La Sapienza" of Rome on October 2005 with a thesis on the orographic precipitation modelled by terrain features and instability parameters over North-West Sardinia (Italy). Title of thesis (in ITALIAN): Analysis and  Modelling of Atmospheric precipitation: an investigation on the role of orography on local scale precipitation. Today I am Research Assistant at IBIMET, Institute of  Biometeorology, National Research Council since February 2007.
