CV:	Curriculum Vitae

I am a Ph.D. student in the Global Climate division of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) since 2009. My supervisors are Sybren Drijfhout (KNMI) and Henk Dijkstra (Utrecht University). I work on a project on the stability of the overturning circulation in the Atlantic Ocean and its interactions with the atmosphere. The main topics of my work are geophysical fluid dynamics and dynamical systems, but I am very interested in complex systems and critical phenomena in general. I studied Physics at Trieste University (Italy), and I graduated in 2008 with Claudio Masciovecchio (Elettra) with a thesis on the critical behaviour of liquid water at high pressure and low temperature.

18 April 2012

At EGU 2012 I will present three things: on Monday 23 I will show a poster (mostly by Sybren Drijfhout and Geert Jan van Oldenborgh), on the temperature footprint of AMOC changes in future climate, poster number: Z216, attendance time from 15:30 to 17:00. On Wednesday 25 I will be at poster XY387 (attendance time from 17:30 to 19:00), discussing a box model of the AMOC where the role of freshwater budget can be discussed. On Thursday 26, talk at session OS1.2 (at 10.45) on the sensitivity of the AMOC to freshwater anomalies in the South Atlantic.

8 December 2011

Paper on the impact of salinity biases in climate models accepted at Climate Dynamics.

8 August 2011

Salinity biases in climate models may completely change the sensitivity of the AMOC to freshwater perturbations: how to collapse AMOC in any climate model.

21 January 2011

Preprint on the definition of an efficient hybrid ocean-atmosphere coupled model (out on Climate Dynamics).

6 May 2010

Paper on the nature of collective modes in supercooled water is published on New Journal of Physics.

8 October 2009

Paper on critical behaviour of water at low temperature and high pressure (master thesis) is published on Journal of Chemical Physics.
