I suoi interessi di ricerca riguardano l'Image Processing, Il Machine Learning e la Computer Vision applicati soprattuto all'analisi di immagini/video di alimenti e alla valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale. I suoi articoli affrontano problemi che richiedano l'utlizzo di algoritmi basati sull'imaging per poter essere risolti. Tra questi: compressione delle immagini con l'uso del re-indexing, ottimizzazione del colore, estrazione di fingerprint da documenti, riconoscimento e classificazione di immagini di cibo, stima dei valori nutrizionali da contenuti multimediali, rilevamento e rimozione di artefatti da immagini o video e altro.
