Alessio Pignalberi

Alessio Pignalberi received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics from the Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy, in 2011 and 2014, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in geophysics from the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy, in 2019. He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Rome, Italy. His main research interests include the development, implementation, and validation of data-assimilation empirical ionospheric models, the modeling of the ionosphere topside electron density profile, the study of small-scale properties of ionospheric plasma through ionospheric indices, and the study of large-scale climatological properties of ionospheric plasma.
