Projects

Urban Mobility Analysis Platform (UMAP), ICT in Transport Systems

ICT Researcher, Group Member

Design and implementation of a coherent data analysis framework capable to collect and integrate heterogeneous geo-referenced data in order to investigate the urban mobility. The city of Turin has been taken as case study and for it a remarkable focus has been given to Enjoy and Car2Go car sharing providers. UMAP has been fully developed in Python, mainly exploiting the Pandas library and leaning on MongoDB.

Building Management System, ICT in Building Design

Group Member

Design, development and emulation of the modules for a Building Management System (BMS) such as shading management, lighting management and air quality control system referred to a real building project carried out by a team of architects. The modules have been implemented in Python.

Smart Home, Programming for IoT Applications

Group Member

Design and development of a physical system to monitor both the lighting and the heating in a smart home environment. A Raspberry Pi has been involved acting as controller and as a broker used by a set of Arduinos connected to the sensors. A graphical interface to make the user interact with the system has been implemented using Bootstrap, PHP and Javascript.

Hobbies

Cinema, Theatre, Photography, Literature, Travels, Art, Psychology.
