I am a spatial data analyst working at IBF Servizi S.p.A..

After my graduation in natural sciences at University of Pavia, I started dealing with remotely sensed imagery during my PhD analysing the phenology of alpine grasslands within Gran Paradiso National Park from coarse resolution optical time series. Then I continued my research activity from 2015 to 2021 at the Institute for Remote Sensing of Environment, in the Italian National Research Council (CNR-IREA), where my activity focused on the development of procedures and algorythms for the spatial data processing, in particular the analysis of time series from optical remote sensing data. The main target of analysis is the use of remote sensing data, in particular the use of Sentinel-2 images and time series, for agronomic applications. R is the programming language I am using the most; many of the procedures written for the preprocessing of Sentinel-2 data have put into the R package sen2r .

As a fan of free software, I like developing solutions to scientific questions using open-source tools, like R, Python, PostGIS, bash, Shiny, Leaflet, Docker, etc. I opened this blog to present the package sen2r , hoping it will be useful also to share open solutions for spatial analysis.
