From 2017 to 2020 she has attended the PhD Course in Logistics and Transports of the Center of Excellence on Logistics, Transport and Infrastructures (CIELI) of the University of Genoa in collaboration with Circle Spa.
In 2019, she carried out a period of visiting abroad in Montréal (Canada) in the Center interuniversitaire de reserche sur les réseaux d'entreprise, la logistique, et le transport ( CIRRELT).
​
Bachelor degree in Economics of maritime, logistic and transport companies and master degree in Economics and Maritime and Port Management at the Department of Business and Economics of the University of Genoa.
With the thesis entitled "Optimization models to design a new cruise itinerary: Costa Crociere case study" (relator Prof. Ambrosino), she obtained the Italian Cruise Day graduation award (2018 edition) and the Italian Association of Operational Research award - 2018 edition.
Passionate about mathematics and its applications since high school, during the years of her doctorate she deepened and increased her knowledge and skills in the field of mathematical modeling and optimization, mainly applied to the transports field.
