Biography

My research is focused on plant functional ecology and eco-physiology. In particular, I am interested in studying the set of adaptations that plants use to survive and tolerate drought (plant water relations) and in the array of mechanical adaptations to confort mechanical stress (biomechanics) of woody plants.
