3 Projects Academic projects European Project FP7-ICT-2009-C: Mobility, data mining, and privacy [MODAP: The project is of type Coordination Action. Role: Principal Investigator. The research activity in the project is mainly related to location privacy in LBS and to the analysis of location privacy-aware standards European Network COST Action IC0903: Knowledge Discovery from Moving Objects [MOVE: Role: Management Committee member and co-national representative. Research and networking focused on trajectory data representation European Project FP6-IST : Geographic Knowledge Discovery and Delivery [GeoPKDD: The project is of Strep type. Role: Principal Investigator for the University in the sub-contract with EPFL, partner of the project. Research regards the study of conceptual data models for the representation of the movement. Sabbatical year at EPFL in 2007 (at the Stefano Spaccapietra s Lab) National research project Prin: Geographic Privacy-aware Knowledge Discovery and Delivery National research project Prin: Sistemi sicuri per la gestione di basi di dati spaziali e geografici in ambito Web Not-funded initiative In 2014, a research collaboration agreement has been signed with Fondazione E. MACH (TN) for the study of the migratory behavior of deer based on GPS trajectories. Main industrial research projects The following projects have been carried out before joining the University European Project Europe-on-the-way within the program Culture 2000, a feasibility study of 9 month. Role: Project Manager of the Consortium (Coordinator: Elda Ingegneria Spa). The study concerns geographical information services on Web Projects funded by Elda Ingegneria Spa. The activity concerns the design and development of two prototypical software systems: the first system is to automate the management of the Road Cadaster (the solution is presented at a major fair, SMAU 1995); the second system is to enable the linear georeferencing on the road network of GPS data, including images, video, voice annotations acquired by a dedicated vehicle 3
