- Flash CV -

Duccio Rocchini [born in Siena in 1975] is Full Professor at Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna from December 2019, after being Associate Professor in Biology and Ecology at the University of Trento, Italy from February 2017. He attained his PhD in 2005, dealing with remote sensing applied to the study of plant communities.
After having collaborated with international institutions like U.S. Geological Survey, University of Nottingham (School of Geography, UK), Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (India), University of California Los Angeles (Department of Geography, US), he joined the Fondazione Edmund Mach in Trento in 2009, in the Dr. Markus Neteler's GIS and Remote Sensing group, promoting open source algorithms for computational, mathematical, spatial and theoretical ecology.
