Dr. Cristina Castagnetti

Associate Professor of Geomatics at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy), Department of Engineering ‘Enzo Ferrari’. My research activity is focused on integrated systems for deformation monitoring both for environmental and structural applications. I took a degree in Environmental Engineering in 2006 and gained my PhD in 2010 with a thesis about the development of integrated systems for land-based navigation in precision farming applications. I was a visiting scholar at the Ohio State University in 2009. Since 2008 I participated in several archaeological missions in Italy, Croatia, Peru and Argentina funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am interested in multidisciplinary applied research addressed to geomatics engineering problem solving by means of innovative techniques. I like teamwork, especially when scientists with different expertise are involved because I have the opportunity to improve my knowledge.
