EDUCATION
1980 - 1984
“Laurea” in Physics
University of Milano, 110 out of 110 cum Laude.
Thesis advisor: Prof. Roberto Pozzoli
1986 – 1988
“Post Doc”
Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, EURATOM Association,
Garching bei München (Germany).
The access to a “Post Doc” contract (usually requiring a PhD qualification) was granted me by the
Direktorium of the “Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik” after an interview and an analysis of my
Thesis (up to 1987 “Laurea” was the highest academic degree available from the Italian University
Education System).
EMPLOYMENT
1999 – present
Data Analysis and IT consultant
ARPAL (Environmental Protection Agency of the Region Liguria)
Genova, Italy
My consultancy activity in ARPAL (a “newborn” Regional Environmental Protection Agency) is
dedicated to the support of the “Scientific Direction” in the creation and activation of an
environmental modelling, information technology and statistics department (also by training and
tutoring of the ARPAL staff) and in the planning and implementation of environmental information
systems (LIMS, GIS, OLAP, DSS).
I contribute to the definition of standard procedures for data analysis and visualisation and have
the responsibility of coordinating, scientifically and administratively several regional, national and
international projects.
1988 - 1999
Physicist
Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics)
EURATOM Association - Garching bei München, Germany
I was part of an experimental Team (of about 50 researchers) with the main task of mathematical
and numerical modelling, statistical and theoretical prediction and interpretation of experimental
results.
PROFESSIONAL 1999 - present
ARPAL (Environmental Protection Agency of the Region Liguria)
EXPERIENCES Data Mining and Information System:
proposal (hw/sw selection, budget and planning), development and implementation of an
Information System related to the characterization and clean-up of contaminated
Industrial Sites. The work was financed by the Italian Environmental Ministry (around 1
million €). The activity included the analysis and realization of RDBMS (Relational
Database Management System), the collection, quality verification, standardization, georeferencing and loading of site related data, creation of user-friendly interfaces (query,
export, report engines), GIS cartographic elaborations (raster and vector), 2D and 3D
visualization of contaminant plumes (groundwater and soil), statistical and geo-statistical
analysis, modelling, risk assessment, divulgation and distribution via web (alphanumeric
and cartographic results – ASP and ESRI ArcIMS). In particular I planned and carried out
the “data mining” (about 10.000 samples, 600.000 analytical results for soil and 100.000
for groundwater) and the statistical activities, using mainly SQL Server (Analysis Services)
and S-plus tools. The analytical multivariate data were stored in “OLAP cubes” (using as
hierarchical measures: pollutant, stratigraphy, space and time). The three dimensionality
and the uncertainty related to the sampling and laboratory analysis required an advanced
geo-statistical treatment (“point pattern” structure, empirical variogram, indicator and
universal kriging, gaussian stochastic simulations) to estimate the contaminated volumes
and the related uncertainty;
scientific and administrative responsibility for the proposal (hw/sw selection, budget and
planning), development
and implementation of a NIR (Non-Ionising Radiation)
Information and Decision Support System. The GIS (Geographic Information System)
embedded System integrates relational databases (NIR sources: power lines,
radio/TV/cellular phone and monitoring data), query and reporting tools (alphanumeric
and cartographic), a modelling platform (including a 3-D ray-tracing for wave propagation
in urban environments) and visualization and statistical tools. The project has been
implemented on a Linux workstation using “Riskware” developed by ESS (Austria);
EU co-financed international project:
proposal, management, scientific and administrative responsibility of ARPAL participation
to the 5th Framework Programme Project European Union co-financed SUTRA (Sustainable
Urban TRAnsport) project. The project (36 months, July 2000/July 2003, 2.5 million € in
eligible costs) concentrated on a multimodal simulation of the urban transportation system
and the connected environmental, energetic and economic impact (Genoa was selected as
one of the test cases). Main aim of the project is a multi-criteria optimisation approach
and the communication of the results to the decision makers;
Project Administration:
scientific and administrative responsibilities for the creation of an “integrated meteohydrological structure” in ARPAL. The activity consisted in supervising (in support to
ARPAL Scientific Director) the transition of three working groups (operating in three
different University Departments: 10 physicists and 5 engineers) into an integrated
permanent structure in ARPAL;
Statistical Analysis:
proposal and coordination of a novel statistical estimation of integrated emissions by the
Liguria manufacturing industries, based on emission coefficients (air, soil, water)
statistically deduced by crossing the US “Toxic Release Inventory” and a US industrial
census (based on the World Bank Integrated pollution control – decision support system);
collaboration to a national project finalized to the statistical derivation of an empirical
model for screening exposure to wave propagation in urban environments; multivariate
analysis of surface water quality data; collaboration to the statistical analysis, visualization
and interpretation of environmental monitoring data and to the state of environment
reporting.
Environmental Modelling:
experience in environmental modelling in the main environmental media, aimed to risk
assessment and environmental impact evaluation: air pollution (continuous emission and
accidental releases), water pollution (groundwater and surface water quality analysis), soil
(vadose zone, groundwater), ionizing and non-ionizing radiation;
Web publishing:
planning and supervision to the realization of a visualization and web real time
consultation system related to the quality of the Ligurian bathing waters (making use of
MapInfo GIS system and a java “zooming engine”);
1988 - 1999
Research activities:
Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik – EURATOM Association
The activities at “Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik” has allowed me to acquire, under “optimal
working conditions”, a robust and strong competence in the operative application of the main
physical/mathematical and statistical tools, their numerical implementation as well as the creation
and management of data bases. My theoretical activity focussed on the formulation and numerical
solution of equations of Fokker-Planck type (this kind of equations arises from the stochastic
description of diffusive and convective phenomena as those originating, e.g., from “random walk”).
As a member of an experimental Team, my research activity has always been finalised to the
production of results that could be directly compared to experimental observations, with predictive
and interpretative aims.
In particular, during the years spent in Germany, I had the opportunity to:
-
-
manage and analyse experimental data;
develop a 3-D ray-tracing code (several thousands of FORTRAN instructions);
implement and interface the aforementioned 3-D ray-tracing to a finite difference kinetic
Fokker-Planck code, developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The solution
was obtained by iteration (due to the presence of non-linear terms) by coupling the two codes
on a Cray supercomputer;
solve numerically the “heat diffusion equation”, with a periodic forcing terms (heat wave
propagation). An analysis of the amplitude and phase delay of experimentally induced heat
wave allowed (by means of Fourier transform and convolution analysis) a re-construction of
the transport coefficients from experimental data.
In parallel to the research activity, I had the responsibility to:
-
organize and manage several international collaboration projects (UE, ex-Soviet Union and
Japan – where I spent more than two years as a “guest scientist”) following the approval and
cost statement procedures
-
training and supervising several students.
COMPUTING/IT
EXPERIENCE
Hardware and Operating Systems:
Experience in working with both “state of the art” hardware (Unix Workstation, IBM
Risk Station, Cray Supercomputer) as well as with personal computer under UNIX/XWindows and MS Windows 95/98/ME/XP professional operating systems.
Software and Programming:
Theoretical and practical knowledge of the main tools for statistical and geostatistical
analysis (e.g., multivariate statistics, cluster analysis, neural networks, simulated
annealing, genetic algorithm, Gaussian stochastic simulations, kriging) and their
application through PC standard statistical packages – e.g., Statistica, S-plus, gslib and
specific codes.
Application of MS SQL Server (Data Mining and Analysis Services), MS Office (Access,
Excel, VBA – Visual Basic for Applications, Word, FrontPage, PowerPoint), programming
languages (FORTRAN, Visual Basic for Applications) and visualization tools (e.g.,
Grapher, Surfer, EVS).
Good knowledge of GIS – Geographic Information System (MapInfo, MapBasic,
VerticalMapper, ArcView) and of the main troubles related to their correct
implementation.
