Roberto Bozzano graduated in Electronic Engineering from the University of Genoa in July 1993 and has been working as a researcher at the National Research Council (CNR) since 1996. His work focuses on theoretical and experimental technologies for environmental monitoring—particularly in the marine environment—involving the study of complex autonomous systems and multisensor systems for collecting meteorological data from marine platforms or intelligent systems. Specifically, he is involved in the design, implementation, and multifunctional remote management of complex measurement systems; the development of acoustic methods for measuring environmental parameters; the study of physical processes at the air-sea interface; the simulation of the behavior of moored floating platforms; and, more generally, the development of data acquisition and signal processing systems, as well as embedded and real-time platform architectures. His scientific work is part of the Institute’s core activities, encompassing the organization and development of the W1M3A offshore meteo-oceanographic observatory and its instrumentation, as well as broader research and development into innovative methods for marine environmental monitoring.
The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
