Over the past years, inside the “Control Room”, I had charge of all management related activities, coordinating aspects of ICT and gaining a good experience in applied research related to monitoring of active volcanoes, on early warning systems and hazard. I follow also the development of algorithms for pattern recognition of geophysical parameters and also manage the implementation and development of hardware solutions. I’ve collaborated on the Italian station of the CTBTO (in Sicily) on the control of nuclear explosions. My skills are also in advanced HPC, Grid and Cloud computing as a member of the Consorzio Cometa Technical Commettee (www.consorzio-cometa.it) and in quality certification systems (Total Quality Management), as well as project management techniques. Since 2000 I study the technological development of renewable energy. I'm involved in different Earth Science projects: data curation, harmonization, interoperability actions are part of my actual work.
