The National Research Council of Italy (CNR) is the largest public research institution in the country and the only one operating under the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) with a multidisciplinary mandate.
CNR plays a leading role in several strategic domains, including Engineering, ICT, Energy and Transportation, which focuses on production systems, cybersecurity, electronic and optoelectronic devices for applications ranging from medical diagnosis to environmental monitoring, as well as intelligent mobility and advanced manufacturing
I am a senior researcher at the Italian National Research Council (CNR), with deep expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Hyperspectral/Multispectral Imaging.
I offer my skills and unique hardware assets to strengthen an existing consortium, accelerating its work on data acquisition, monitoring, and predictive modeling.
My Competences are in the field of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning for environmental/agricultural data; Advanced Image & Signal Processing, and Hyperspectral and Multispectral data analysis (UAV-borne).
Available hardware: UAV for Hyperspectral Data: DJI Matrice 600 Pro + Specim AFX10 (hyperspectral) & Micasense RedEdge (multispectral); Smaller UAVs: DJI Mini 2, Mini 4, Phantom 3 for routine monitoring; Marine & Underwater Sensing: BlueRobotics BlueBoat USV with Multibeam Echosounder & Side Scan Sonar; Autonomous boat with holographic microscope for in-situ plankton/particle analysis (In-development).
We can also provide access to Marine Protected Areas as pilot sites. This is ideal for projects requiring:
Monitoring of coastal water quality, biodiversity, or invasive species.
Integration of terrestrial (drone) and marine (sonar/microscope) data.
I am ready to contribute to:
On-demand, high-resolution hyperspectral acquisitions to complement satellite data.
AI-based data fusion and analysis for early pest detection, crop stress, or aquatic ecosystem health.
Deployment of sensors in MPAs for validation and demonstration activities.
I am flexible and can adapt my role to the consortium’s needs.
If you are forming a consortium and need advanced sensing + AI capabilities (or MPAs as pilot sites), please contact me to discuss.
