Rosella Cataldo

Biography

Born in LECCE, he obtained a BSc in Physics at the Faculty of Science at LECCE in the academic year 1980-81. Since 2001 she has been working at the Department of Materials Science of the University of Salento as a researcher confirmed in INF01. He was a member of the College of Teachers of the "Computational Methodology Specialization School", established in the years 1998 and 1999 by the Degree Course in Physics with the support of the Department of Materials Science, addressed to young graduates in Physics, Mathematics and Informatics. Since the academic year 2001 he has been in charge of the Computer Science Course for the Physics Degree Course (three years) and of the Computer Science Course for the Degree Course in Environmental Science and Technology. Since 2004 he has been in charge of the Computer Science Course for the Optical and Optometry Degree Course. Since 2004 she is in charge of the Course of Treatment and Image Analysis for the Degree Course in Physics (specialist). He has had teaching assignments in several Master's. He has participated in the PRIN 2005 entitled "Study and development of physical-computational systems for the distributed analysis of biomedical images", whose head of the local operative unit is prof.

Research Interest

Study of the problems inherent in the preservation of confined historical-archeological goods, through environmental investigations of a physicochemical nature. In particular, from the collection and comparison of climatic data, the transfer functions that determine the variations of the internal environment, in relation to the external ones, are identified. Prepare site elevation templates by digitized cadastral maps, with special attention, where possible, to the historical evolution of buildings. Extraction, by image analysis, of morphometric parameters and study of their interaction with climatic variations.
