I am the head of the workshop of the CNR-IRBIM of Ancona.
I collaborate with many of the research projects of the Ancona headquarters designing and building fixed and mobile structures essential for research activities such as CTD and mooring frames.
I participated in the creation of a new lander prototype called Amerigo capable of collecting seabed and water samples in specific benthic chambers, measuring collected samples and returning to the surface without the help of cables or divers.
I am the main contact for all the activities of carpentry and working of metals, alloys, wood and plastics of the Ancona headquarter.
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.
