My research interests focus on Landscape classification for viticulture and climate change scenarios, smart monitoring of phenology stages by means of low cost devices, eco-physiology, i.e. light microclimate and berry temperature as affected by row orientation in the vineyard, precision viticulture, Internet of Things (IoT), smart agriculture, plant physiology, and, finally, Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Since January 2022 I’m working with the Digital Agriculture unit and I’m involved in prototyping activities related to automated monitoring of plant development (phenology) and to the assessment of new tools for early detection of plant water stress by using infrared temperature sensors, low cost dataloggers, and Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) technologies for the data transmission.
