My research focuses on developing and integrating Geomatics Engineering methods to observe, model and monitor natural and built environments. My main research themes include:
Geospatial data acquisition and integration
I develop methods for integrating data collected from terrestrial, satellite, aerial and underwater platforms using photogrammetry, LiDAR, GNSS, InSAR and optical, thermal and acoustic sensors.
3D modelling, Digital Twins and extended reality
I investigate workflows that transform survey data into three-dimensional models, information systems and Digital Twins. I also explore AR, VR and XR technologies for spatial analysis, communication and immersive data visualization.
Environmental and territorial monitoring
I apply geomatics techniques to the study of subsidence, landslides, coastal dynamics and territorial change, with particular attention to multi-temporal analysis and decision support.
Marine and underwater geomatics
My work includes the planning and processing of surveys conducted with UUVs, ROVs, USVs and optical and acoustic systems for the 3D mapping and monitoring of marine habitats.
Cultural and built heritage
I integrate photogrammetry, laser scanning, thermography, HBIM and immersive visualization to document, analyse and communicate historic buildings, infrastructure and cultural sites.
GIS, Open Data and territorial resilience
I develop GIS workflows, decision-support tools and approaches based on Open Data and crowdmapping for territorial management, geographic communication and emergency response.
Precision agriculture
I investigate the use of UAV, satellite, multispectral and thermal data to observe crops, identify stress conditions and support more efficient agricultural resource management.
