Ecologist Agroecosystems & Biodiversity at European Commission
Ispra, Lombardy, Italy
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatteo Marcantonio is an ecologist with a decade of experience blending fieldwork, quantitative analysis, and open‑science tooling to tackle biodiversity and agroecosystem challenges. Currently advising the European Commission and serving as an Ecologist for Agroecosystems & Biodiversity, he develops data‑driven assessments at the intersection of agriculture and conservation. His research spans insect behavioural responses to habitat fragmentation, invasive mosquito ecology, and impacts of land‑use change—work that combines experiments, spatial ecology, remote sensing and dynamic population models. Matteo is as comfortable writing reproducible code and libraries for remote sensing as he is designing field studies, reflecting a rare mix of programming fluency and hands‑on ecological expertise. He actively communicates findings through peer‑reviewed publications and conferences, prioritizing methodological rigor and openly accessible science. Based in Ispra, Italy, he pairs European policy engagement with practical conservation tools that inform management on the ground.
