RESEARCH QUALITY ASSESSMENT 2004-2010 (ANVUR) The three products presented were all rated "excellent" (score: 3 out of 3). RESEARCH QUALITY ASSESSMENT 2011-2014 (ANVUR) The two products presented were all rated "high" (score: 1.4 out of 2). Principal Didactic Responsibilities: In addition to teaching activities as associate professor since 2002 and as alternate professor at the Universities of Molise and Calabria since 1999, he is currently: • Responsible for the Quality Assurance of the Environmental Science Study Since 1.1.2008 at 31.12.2013 he was a referent for the Entrance Orientation for the Environmental Science Study Course. In the past (at the University of Molise) he was Coordinator of the Degree in Geological Sciences and Delegate of the Faculty for Internationalization Problems. Its main research interests are in the following areas: • Study the physical properties of the earth's crust by modeling seismic, electrical, gravimetric data; • Structural models in seismogenic areas by inversion of potential fields and seismic travel times; • Analysis of soil seismicity and deformation in volcanic areas; • Study of the physical processes of seismic phenomena: source and propagation effects; • Study of fluid tides, dynamic swings of marine olives in coastal areas and semi-dry basins; • Groundwater Fluid Dynamics; • Volcano structure: seismic tomography and inversion of potential fields for 3D imaging of volcanic structures; • Energy Resources: Geothermal and Thermo-Fluid-Mechanical Processes; • Field laboratories design for the measurement of geophysical observables. He is also • Referee for international journals and research projects • Curriculum of the "Brain Return" program evaluator • VQR 2004-2010 reviewer (Gev 02 and Gev 04) • Revision of FIRB projects • Volume editor "The Internal Structure of Mt. Vesuvius through 3D High Resolution Seismic Tomography "(Liguori editore, Naples, pp.595, ISBN: 88-207-3503-2, 2003) • Volume Editor" Geophysical Exploration of the Camps of Southern California Caldera 'Interiors: Data, Methods and Results' • Member of the American Geophysical Union • Member of the European Geosciences Union Scientific activity, also carried out as a research unit in national and international projects, is evidenced by numerous publications, of which about 60 are in international scientific journals, from participation in national and international conferences and authorship activities curator of two volumes gathering the main scientific results of the Tomography of Vesuvius Tomography and the Serapis Project at the Phlegrean Fields, devoted to the study of the structures of the volcanoes in the Neapolitan area.
