Biography

My main research topic is the geophysical characterization of the subsurface through electrical and electromagnetic methods and the processing/interpretation of geophysical data by means of computational intelligence methods (swarm intelligence and evolutionary computation). My studies are primarily devoted to geothermal systems, aquifers, embankments, permafrost, archaeological remains and other environmental applications. I also adopt the technique called ultrasonic pulse velocity for the non-destructive characterization of innovative and low-impact grouts for mechanized tunneling. My research collaborations are with national/international academic institutions and companies (Università di Torino, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Universitat de Barcelona, National Technical University of Athens, Università di Bari, Techgea, Fugro, Mapei). I joined geophysical field works in Italy, Spain, Cape Verde and Svalbard Islands, taking part in projects such like ICEtoFLUX and Criteria.
