Her research investigates the interactions between river hydro-geomorphodynamics and riparian vegetation across diverse environments, with\r\n the goal of developing predictive models of future river\u2013vegetation evolution. By understanding how processes such as sediment accumulation, island formation or permafrost thaw can reshape river corridors, her work aims to support\r\n communities facing related risks. During her Master\u2019s thesis in Energy Engineering, she conducted field research in the Drin Basin in Albania, analysing the state of the basin, existing river-protection frameworks and legislation\r\n and potential future changes driven by the rapid expansion of hydropower plants. Passionate about international cooperation, she believes that impactful science emerges when research is grounded in people, their knowledge and their\r\n needs.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

She obtained her Master\u2019s degree in Environmental Engineering, with a focus on environmental sustainability and international cooperation.Her professional experience began during\r\n her studies with SEED, an international training program that introduced her to the field of environmental engineering for development and cooperation. This experience marked the starting point of her engagement in international\r\n and applied environmental projects. During her Master\u2019s degree, she conducted her thesis research entitled \u201cEffects of sediment mining on river habitat availability: R\u00edo Simpson, Chilean Patagonia\u201d, and later completed her final\r\n internship in Albania. In parallel, she concluded the TALETE Honors Programme, focused on international perspectives and cooperation. She has since been involved in several national and international project initiatives, working\r\n with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders. She is currently in the first year of her PhD, following a research path that investigates river thermal regimes under climate change, integrating fish habitat assessment, eDNA\r\n approaches, and vegetation dynamics.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

is a first-year PhD student at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering (DICAM) at the University of Trento. Her doctoral research, within the NAANE project funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation\r\n (AICS), focuses on river\u2013floodplain dynamics in the Colombian Amazon Trapezium, with particular attention to fluvial morphodynamics, flood early warning systems, and hydro-morphological tools for local communities. She holds a Master\u2019s\r\n degree in Energy Engineering and took part in the TALETE Honours Programme, an advanced training pathway in international cooperation and project design. During her master\u2019s studies, she conducted field research in Guatemala on micro-hydropower\r\n for drinking water supply, which strengthened her interest in water resources and international cooperation. She later completed her Universal Civil Service in Bolivia, contributing to projects on water management, early warning\r\n systems, and geospatial and meteorological data analysis. Her broader interests include integrated water resources management, risk reduction, and participatory approaches linking scientific research with local communities in Latin\r\n America.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
