  • Drafting of technical reports for ENAC to assess the compatibility between new constructions (or modifications to existing infrastructure) and airport obstacle limitation surfaces, as well as ENAV's CNS (Communication, Navigation and Surveillance) systems.
  • Management and maintenance of ENAV's corporate geodetic and altimetric reference network, including data collection, validation, and processing for the update of aerodrome obstacle charts and the national e-TOD (electronic Terrain and Obstacle Data), currently under implementation.
  • Maintenance of the company's geospatial database, containing 3D terrain models, known obstacles, airport layouts, navigational aids, and AGL (Approach Guidance Lights); responsible for data quality control and coordination with the IT department to ensure accessibility and operational functionality for end users.
  • Planning, organization and execution of topographic surveys at aerodromes and external areas for technical-commercial purposes, using GNSS instruments, total stations, and CAD/GIS processing software.
  • Collaboration with the Meteorology department for the creation and updating of airport horizon profiles (“giri d'orizzonte”), used as tools for meteorological and operational analysis.
  • Technical support in managing institutional and operational relations with Airport Operators and other stakeholders, contributing to the revision and update of agreements and shared operational procedures.

Continuation of the research work started for the Bachelor's thesis. Update of the CFTI5Med geodatabase through the inclusion of new information on earthquake-induced environmental effects related to the 1997 Umbria–Marche seismic sequence. The data was obtained through the analysis of new documentary sources or reinterpreted materials previously used only for anthropic impact studies.
Georeferencing of historical maps and development of geographic data from those sources using QGIS and Excel, aimed at producing a digital cartographic representation for integration into the catalogue, accompanied by detailed annotations.

Worked well in a team setting, providing support and guidance.

Implementation and population of a GIS-based georeferenced map database, including both surface and subsurface geological maps retrieved from public sources and online archives.
Activities included map identification, raster file creation, georeferencing, and assignment of metadata for proper classification.
The project supported the DISS and EDSF seismogenic fault databases of the INGV, and contributed to the development of a reference database for the SISMOLAB-3D seismic reflection laboratory.
