SPACERAISE

Period July 2024 - July 2025


Bando a cascata Rome Technopole Innovation Ecosystem - Spoke 3 - University education, industrial PhD courses, internationalization

I was the Project Coordinator of SPACERAISE, an intensive training program with high technological and scientific content aimed at young talents interested in the major challenges of space software engineering. The program focused on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Digital Twins for aerospace applications, exploiting a multidisciplinary approach that combines basic research in Computer Science with industrial applications.

The program was structured around three specialization tracks: Artificial Intelligence for Aerospace, Robotics for Space Applications, and Digital Twins for Space Manufacturing and/or for Satellites.

RASTA

Period November 2022 - April 2025


Realtà Aumentata e Story-Telling Automatizzato per la valorizzazione di Beni Culturali ed Itinerari (RASTA)

I served as Work Package leader (WP6) and Task leader in the RASTA project, an industrial research and experimental development project focused on augmented reality and automated storytelling for the enhancement of cultural heritage and itineraries.

WP6, titled Itinerari turistici Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise, aimed at defining a framework for the valorisation of the Park's territory, the presentation and recommendation of touristic routes, and data consultation with semantic correlation and interoperability between sources. The project addressed route composition based on user profiling, points of interest, route difficulty, geolocation, sensor data, and tourist-flow analysis.

Project partners: Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale per l'Informatica (CINI), Gran Sasso Science Institute, SA DOCUMENTS SRL, T.S.C. GLOBAL CONSULTING SRL, Università degli Studi del Molise, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, Università degli Studi di Perugia, Università degli Studi della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli", and Università del Salento.

Cultural Heritage

Period June 2020 - May 2023


Programma Operativo Nazionale Ricerca e Innovazione (PON) 2014-2020 Project - Attraction and International Mobility (AIM) (Azione I.2, AIM - Linea 1)

I participated in the Cultural Heritage project, which aimed to structure a digital ecosystem for cultural heritage by supporting the digital transition of cultural heritage through the design and implementation of an online software platform. The project enabled citizens to interact with cultural heritage more closely and in different ways, exploiting portable device applications and multisensory instrumentation.

The project aimed to improve the availability of high-quality data on open platforms and social media, increase access to rich and diverse cultural content, lower cultural barriers, increase public participation, and provide learning and social entertainment experiences contributing to a better understanding and reinterpretation of cultural heritage.

Smart Construction

Period January 2018 - October 2018


EIT Digital activity #18014

Smart-Construction was an innovation activity supported by EIT Digital in the field of digital industry, providing holistic solutions to automatically monitor workflows and tasks on construction sites. Within the project, we developed a product for the automated synchronisation of digital drawings and documentation with the actual progress of the construction site, integrating portable computing and IoT technologies for deployment on construction sites.

Project partners: Ferrovial Agroman, Ci3, DFKI Kaiserslautern.

ALLOW Ensembles

Period July 2013 - January 2016


ICT-2011.9.10 - FET Proactive: Fundamentals of Collective Adaptive Systems (FOCAS)

ALLOW Ensembles developed a new design principle for large-scale collective adaptive systems based on the concepts of cells and ensembles. Cells are basic building blocks representing the different components of the system, while ensembles are collections of cells collaborating to accomplish a goal in a given context.

The project used Adaptive Pervasive Flows, a workflow-based programming paradigm for pervasive systems, to model the behavior of cells as a set of interrelated tasks. The project investigated scenarios such as integrated urban mobility and smart production chains.

Project partners: Imperial College London, DFKI - German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, University of Crete.
