Image processing expert and GIS analyst: graduated in Environmental Engineering at one of the most awarded University of Engineering in Italy, achieved a PhD in GeoEngineering in 2012 with a thesis on water balance in high mountain (ALPS) using a hydrological and hydrogeological approach. During his PhD he developed an instrument to measure snow density that has been patented and won a competition called “start-cup”. So far he has been teaching GIS and thematic cartography for 4 years at University and he held private courses (ERDF European Regional Development Found) on photogrammetry and images processing. His academic research focused on multivariate Statistical Analysis, Spatial Analysis and Modelling using GIS, Critical Areas (HotSpot) Detection, Change Detection Analysis, Remote Sensing image processing and classification, Territorial planning and Territorial Information Systems (SIT)
