Occupation or position held 

Researcher of the DG JRC of the European Commission at the Ispra site in the HSU-SERAC unit inside the IPSC Institute

Main activities and responsibilities  

Support to research projects in the field of the remote sensing with ground-based interferometric SAR systems, in particular following their development in the project phases and in the laboratory tests. I also participate to their hardware and software development for the data acquisition and processing. I took part in many in-field measure campaigns made with these instruments, in particular in Stromboli volcanic island after the 2003 eruption, in Peru -MachuPicchu for landslide monitoring, at the Danube river banks after the 2006 flood, at the MonterosaSki resort for avalanches real-time monitoring
