As an ecologist with a multidisciplinary background, I focus on analyzing the interactions among ecosystem structure, ecological processes, and ecosystem functionality and services, with particular attention to the psychophysiological and neurocognitive effects of human experiences in natural environments, stemming from our species' evolved reliance on the natural world.
In my research, I integrate classical ecological methodologies with innovative approaches from complex systems science, combining remote sensing, GIS, and artificial intelligence with ecopsychological assessments and physiological data analysis. My research interests include the evolutionary basis of Biophilia and Nature Connectedness, as well as Green Prescriptions within the framework One Health/Planetary Health. I actively practice and advocate for teaching methodologies based on Universal Design for Learning, emphasizing outdoor and experiential education settings.
