👋 Hello, I'm Alessandro

🎓 PhD in Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering with my thesis in 'Innovative use and integration of remote sensed geospatial data for 3D city modeling and GIS urban applications'.

🏫 I teach and research at the oldest university in the Western world: University of Bologna.

🗺 Over 10 years of experience in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and survey technologies (UAV, LiDAR, photogrammetry and remote sensing in general).

🔬 Spatial Data Scientist: I am truly passionate about any entity that can be represented on a map.

📖 Published several papers about geomatics: 'discipline concerned with the collection, distribution, storage, analysis, processing, presentation of geographic data or geographic information' (ISO/TC211/WG1 N119).

👍 My strength: critical thinker.

👎 My weakness: always hungry for problems to solve. I am still learning to say 'no' when I am presented with new challenges.

📷 Always interested in photography, I really love Nikon cameras.

🌐 Active online since the days when you used to hear this sound before connecting.

📱 Nevertheless, I'm not a great social media user, I should do a better use of those focused on research and job opportunities.

🏃 In a love-hate relationship with running, but I do it very often. I also ended up running the New York City Marathon in just under 4 hours.

🏠 Born and raised in Bologna, home of the tortellini (even if our neighbors in Modena disagree).

👪 Luckily married to the greatest woman in the world and we have an amazing daughter.

🌎 You can easily involve me in any project that makes the world a better place.
