His recent work analyzes climate extremes' impacts on grasslands, xylem embolism reversal mechanisms, and green roof plant water relations. Collaborative projects include the H2020 Graphene Flagship and national grants on drought-resistant crops. Students in his group (Agnese Cometto, Giada Caorsi, et al.) explore topics from lichen symbiosis to biomonitoring applications. While no explicit awards are listed, his 15+ recent publications highlight leadership in plant stress physiology and environmental adaptation.
