Work experiences
Since 1993 he works in the field of Computer Science as a Researcher, a System  Analyst, an ICT project manager and a Computer Science Professor at Italian Universities and Italian Public Administrations.
From 1993 to 1997 he was Fellow of the International Board for Plant  Genetic  Resources  (IBPGR) and then he was Fellow of the International  Plant  Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) at the University of Naples "Federico II" where he carried out the FAO financed international project "Documentation of  Genetic Resources Utilizing Image Processing" in cooperation with the Italian National Research Council (CNR-IMOF) and some international  research  centres.  The research was accomplished in collaboration with and under the supervision of professor L. Monti (National Research Council - IMOF) and professor E. Filippone (University of Naples Federico II - Dept. of Plant Genetics) at the Department of Plant Genetics of the University of Naples "Federico II". His main research interests were in theoretical and application-oriented aspects of visual formalisms for databases and database design.  With respect to theory, he studied problems related to the study,  design and realisation of graphical user interfaces making easier data input, data management and data retrieval in order to deal with plant genetic resources information and plant images.  Moreover he designed and developed some imaging systems and software for plant and genetic resources image processing and management (with a simplified query by image approach). In 1995 he contributed to the design and realisation of one of the first Information System accessible via internet by means of a Web Interface. In this period he contributed to write European Union (EU) and European Commission (EC) research proposal and some of them were financed.
On  these  topics  he  published  about  30  articles in leading journals,  conferences,  seminars,  technical reports.  In  1996 he managed the organisation of the Workshop on "Characterization and  documentation  of  Genetic  Resources  Utilizing Multimedia Databases" and was curator of the Proceedings of the Workshop.  In 1997 he designed and realised a web-based information system accessible on an intranet providing a Web Interface and an image database management software programmed in Java.
From  1997  to 2001 he worked as Information Systems Officer at the Italian Ministry of Justice. His main activities where devoted to ICT project management and Information Systems Analisys, Design and Development. In 1998 he supported design and management of an automatic recruitment system providing  personalised automatically generated multiple choices balanced questions and answers. This was one of the first information system in Italian Public Administration providing strong authentication with smart cards. During this period he contributed to write research proposal for European Union (FESR and ESF) and European Commission (co-financed RTD programs) for some EU and EC projects for law enforcement by means of distributed information systems. For the financed projects he contributed also to to manage the start-up phase.
Since 2001 he works as Information Systems Officer and ICT project manager at the Italian Court of Auditors where he deals with some Information Systems (IS) driven Business Process Reengineering Projects (Court of Auditors Prosecutors Office IS, Telematic Judgement IS, Telematic Transmission of Italian Councils and Provinces Annual Financial Reports (SIRTEL utilizing a standardised XML format for financial data exchange).  Nowadays he is in charge of a project for the diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies to the Regional Offices of Italian Court of Auditors.
Since 2008 he is also a Contract Professor of Computer Science at the University of Ferrara, from 2005 to 2011 was a Contract Professor of Computer Science, Computer Networks and Usability at the University of  Rome "La Sapienza" (Faculty of Science of Communications), from 2005 to 2007 he was was a Contract Professor of Computer Science for Provincia di Roma.
