His current research activities are mainly focused on air quality monitoring using Earth Observation data and physics-informed AI algorithms.

Research

Davide aims to develop innovative air quality products consisting of high spatial resolution Aerosols and Nitrogen Dioxide maps obtained by combining Sentinel-5P with currently available hyperspectral spaceborne data (e.g. PRISMA, EnMAP). He will also support the work of the ESA Science Atmosphere Cluster.
