My research activity is part of the “National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing” project. I focus on developing methods for the extraction and classification of geospatial information from satellite images through the integration of deterministic approaches and artificial intelligence models, particularly multimodal Large Language Models (LLMs).

My research interests also include the field of Digital Humanities, with a particular focus on the development of digital libraries and the semantic modeling of knowledge through ontologies.
