Adele Elisa Aleo was born in 1975. In 2003, she graduated in Natural Sciences at University of Palermo. From 2005 to 2012 she worked for the University of Palermo and the National Interuniversity Consortium for Marine Sciences (CoNISMa) with several fellowships and contracts, as laboratory technician at the Department of Earth and Marine Sciences of the University of Palermo (DiSTeM).

Currently, she works as technician at the Laboratory of Stable Isotope Ecology of the DiSTeM, dealing with issues related to the ecology of coastal environments through the study of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) to evaluate organic matter and nutrient origin and fate.

She is coauthor of 10 scientific papers published in conference proceedings.
