From 2023 I'm enrolled in a PhD program at the University of Catania.
From 2012 to 2020 I was involved in research and development of new web and geospatial technologies with my startup: Geofunction Srls. Most of my research articles are about Geographical Information Systems and geomatic. My reserch approach is pragmatism grounded and real-world oriented.
