Dr. Giovanna Battipaglia is currently Associate professor at Ecole pratique des hautes Etudes (France) and Assistant professor in Ecology at Second University of Naples where she got her Degree in Environmental Science (2001) and her Ph.D. in Implementation and application of isotopic methodologies in environmental science research in cooperation with the Paul Scherrer Institute, PSI, CH (2001-2005). Dr. Battipaglia is a forest ecologist, with research specialization in ecophysiology and dendroecology. She has been working in several International institutes during her carrier, such as Center of Bio-Archeology and Ecology of University of Montpellier II (CBAE- F), the Swiss Federal Research Institute (WSL-CH), The University of Amsterdam (UVA,NL), the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry (MPI, G) and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI,CH). She has long expertise in ecosystem carbon dynamics and in using stable isotopes (with conventional and laser technologies) as a tracer for physical and biological processes. She has participated in three EU projects focused on climate variability and its impacts on vegetation activity and biogeochemical cycles (such as NITROEUROPE, CARBOEUROPE and INCREASE); in the Swiss project NCCR Climate and in 7 projects of the Swiss National Science Foundation, acting as principal investigator in two of them. She developed a patent-winning methodology for CO2 capture (722 ENEA N# RM2011A000110).
