Antonella Boselli received the M.Sc. degree in physics from the University of Naples “FedericoII,” Naples, Italy, in 1994. She has been a Permanent Researcher with the Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council, Potenza, Italy, since 2001. She was involved in developing several advanced laser remote-sensing systems (LIDAR) systems using different spectral regions from UV to IR. She has authored or co-authored over 30 papers in refereed international journals. She has participated in several national and international projects. Her research interests include the chemical and physical characterization of the atmosphere with LIDAR, and optical and microphysical characterization of atmospheric aerosol, also rising from large-scale transport phenomena, with particular reference to Saharan dust and volcanic ash transport events, analysis of multiple scattering processes and depolarization effects on LIDAR signals, validation of satellite data with LIDAR data and their integration with model results, and in situ measurement.
