Profile

I am Carolina Perna, born in Florence on 14 of September 1993. I graduated at the University of Florence where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in agricultural science and a Master's degree in agricultural sciences and technologies (curriculum: precious vegetable production).  During my studies I travelled to Uruguay thanks to Unifi International Programs. I’m as well a young farmer, managing the family farm, on the hills of Scandicci (FI). My passion regards music (I’m currently studying guitar), books and GDR games (I found gamification techniques very interesting in managing some aspect of work and research).

Research interests and PhD project

My research interests deal with olive cultivation and preservation, new technologies for agriculture and olive production, as IOT and Precision Agriculture, as well as new technologies for work safety in agriculture. My PhD focus on Precision Agriculture and digitalization techniques in olive production in order enhance olive sector productivity.
