PERSONAL INFORMATIONS

RESEARCH INTEREST

As soon as I approached the world of computers I had strong interest in multimedia and computer graphics. I did my master thesis at the National Research Council (CNR) on computer graphics topics.
Since then, I continued working at the CNR in the Visual Computing Lab as a researcher. My working topics are the automatic generation of 3D models through 3D scanning, texture generation, mesh manipulation, large dataset management and rendering.
Most of my more applicative work is related to the use of 3D digital technologies in the field of Cultural Heritage, with special interest to documentation, restoration planning and the creation of tools to support of the study of artifacts.
I have strong interest in real time interactive programs for large 3D environment exploration and manipulation, video games in particular.
