BIO
ABOUT ME
I graduated in Architecture at Politecnico di Torino, with a thesis on the use of UAVs for safety applications in construction sites and technical measures for seismic emergency response. In 2023 I obtained a Ph.D in Geomatics—Architectural and Landscape Heritage, with a thesis focused on Geomatic techniques for the documentation of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. I have extensive experience of underwater data acquisition and processing, marine and coastal 2D and 3D mapping, and drones and their application for research, survey, humanitarian relief, public safety, built heritage monitoring and damage assessment.
