Specialized in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and spatial modeling, his research explores the relationship between soil sealing, climate dynamics, and flood risks in urban areas. He combines geospatial, climate, EO and land use data to analyse environmental patterns in urban areas. His work also integrates advanced geospatial techniques for addressing urban environmental challenges, with a focus on bridging science and policy to create resilient, sustainable cities. Currently, he contributes to the 'Forest Data Space' project, aiming to create a shared data platform that integrates information from multiple sources — including public administrations, research centers, forestry companies, and environmental organizations.
