About the Author

Maurizio Petrelli works as a researcher in petrology and volcanology at the Department of Physics and Geology, University of Perugia. In 2001, he graduated in Geology and obtained his PhD in February 2006 at the University of Perugia.

His current studies are focused on the petrological, volcanological and geochemical characterization of magmatic systems with particular emphasis on time-scales estimates of magmatic processes. He combines the use of numerical simulations, experimental petrology and the study of natural samples. Since 2016, he has developed a new line of research at the Department of Physics and Geology, University of Perugia focused on the application of Machine Learning techniques to petrological and volcanological studies.
