Department Specialist Technitian and Predoctoral researcher

computer vision; machine learning; natural hazards; paleofloods; regional flood frequency analysis; tree ring segmentation
I am a technical forestry engineer. Master's degree in artificial intelligence research. I was previously working in forest management plans, and research activities on Mediterranean species distribution models and climate change.
My PhD's research focuses on two topics: The application of deep learning for the automatic segmentation of growth rings in anomalous tissues, and the incorporation of paleoflood data into regional flood frequency analysis.
