About Me.
My research interests include post-wildfire effects assessment, landscape vegetation management and wildfire risk reduction, climate change and wildfires, coupled human and natural systems in fire-prone landscapes, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for forestry applications and WebGIS.
As a member of the Geography of Natural Disasters lab of the Department of Geography since 2005, I have been involved as research assistant in a number of national and EU-funded research projects on forest fires and natural disasters, in particular dealing with integration of new technologies into wildfire suppression efforts. My main project tasks included fire behaviour modelling (with FARSITE, BehavePlus and FlamMap), applied forestry, field data collection (pre-fire and post-fire), GIS analysis, remote sensing, thematic cartography, fire mitigation procedures and strategies, geographical databases development and management; along with considerable working experience on Remote Automatic Weather Station data processing, software operation and hardware maintenance.
