About me

I'm an environmental engineer addicted to scientific GIS development playing in the field of hydrologic and geomorphologic modelling. I also spend some of my time developing for mobile devices based on Android and tinkering with Arduino boards and sensors.


Projects and Opens Source

In the Free and Open Source world I develop and coordinate the Hortonmachine (former JGrasstools), SMASH and Geopaparazzi projects and am charter member of the Osgeo Foundation.


HydroloGIS

Since 2005 I'm cofounder of HydroloGIS, where we work mainly on hydro-geomorphological risk analysis and develop/make use of uDig/gvSIG/QGIS, SMASH, Geopaparazzi and Hortonmachine. It is HydroloGIS that gives me the possibility to enjoy what I am doing every day and be able to pursue my need for open development.


Research

I am part of the ARIES team of the BC3 research center of Bilbao, where I mainly work on environmental modelling and GIS development.

Since 2017 I am lecturer for Advanced Geomatics and Scientific Computer Programming for EMMA at the Free University of Bolzano. There I work on LiDAR data analysis for forestry applications and seamless integration within GIS.

School

I have a degree in Environmental Engineering at the University of Trento and a PhD in Environmental Sciences at the University of Urbino where I developed with the LINEE group uDig extensions for digital field mapping.

And to summarize my thoughts here's my favorite quote:
