Research

Currently I do research in my doctoral program at the University of Catania as a PhD student.
From 2012 to 2020 I was involved in research and development of new web 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.
