What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation in environmental data science, emphasizing collaboration and sustainability.

I am an environmental data scientist with a strong research background in biodiversity modeling and climate data integration. My hands-on experience includes working on ecotoxicological risk assessments and developing statistical models using R and Python. I am particularly passionate about applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to enhance environmental forecasting and sustainability efforts.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to various projects, including my recent internship at CMCC Foundation, where I integrated ecotoxicological impact assessments into climate models. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in environmental biology, ecotoxicology, and statistical analysis, allowing me to quantify biodiversity patterns effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of supporting outreach and science communication initiatives.
