Research Interest

Design of efficient algorithms to analyse EO data and extract feature to characterize urban areas and in general human settlements at multiple spatial scales and spectral wavelengths.; Design of data fusion techniques to exploit information coming from multiple EO and in situ data sources for environmental risk models at local, regional and global scale.; Development of novel tools to extract quantitative parameters from remotely sensed data and to link the extracted information to risk and environmental models.
