Profile

He is a PhD student in Mediterranean Archaeological, Historical, Architectural and Landscape Heritage (PASAP-MED) at the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” (41st cycle), with a free-topic scholarship.

He obtained his master’s degree in Archaeology from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, with a thesis dedicated to the construction of a digital database in a GIS environment for the maintenance, consultation and analysis of archaeobotanical material from the Arslantepe site.

He is a member of the Digital Archaeology Laboratory (LAD) at Sapienza University of Rome, directed by Prof. J. Bogdani.

Since 2022, he has been involved in research support and data processing activities within various projects, all related to the field of digital humanities:

• creation of an information system for the management and online publication of the Farfense Archive at the SARAS Department of Sapienza University of Rome;
• denormalisation, restructuring and formatting of the digital database relating to the Cassiano del Pozzo bibliographic collection (SARAS Department, Sapienza);
• design and implementation of vector databases (geopackages) and geodatabases in the QGIS environment for the Ferrara 1881, Acer, LiBER and DataMed projects of the MDHLab (ISMed – CNR);
• definition of the relational schema, creation of the database structure and normalisation of data for the Winx (Women in INtellectual conteXts) project;
• collaboration in the design and implementation of the ToKa (Towns of Karakum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art) project database, with particular attention to facilitating data entry and data quality;
• ongoing digitisation, vector data management and raster georeferencing for the Arslantepe excavation (Sapienza University of Rome), also including student tutoring and monitoring.

From 1 August 2024 to 1 August 2025, he held a research grant at Sapienza University of Rome as part of the PNRR CHIN-DICTIONARY project, working on the creation of an information system capable of managing and making available lexical, philological and historical information relating to a bilingual historical dictionary (Chinese–Latin), with a particular focus on data modelling, indexing procedures and open access publication.

He mainly deals with the application of digital models and the creation of application software for the management, use and analysis of complex databases in the field of digital humanities, with a strong focus on GIS, relational databases and web interfaces for data exploration. As part of his doctoral research, he applies statistical algorithms and quantitative methods to the comparison and interpretation of Late Bronze Age Aegean archaeological contexts, with the aim of integrating advanced computational tools into the reading of archaeological data.
