Professore di entomologia presso l’Università di Padova, Dipartimento DAFNAE. L’attività di ricerca riguarda principalmente argomenti di entomologia forestale e di ecologia degli insetti, in particolare gli effetti del cambiamento climatico sulle popolazioni di insetti e le tecniche innovative per lo studio e il controllo degli insetti. Coordina un gruppo di ricerca coinvolto in numerosi progetti in Italia e all’estero.
