"Fourier Realtime Michelson Spectrometer", the Cassini Mission for Huygens
probe for HASI; he is also a member of various groups for studies on the
Turin Shroud..
His past research activity was devoted to the study of physical models of
space structures, uncertainty analysis, finite elements modelling,
thermo-mechanical optimization of space instruments and sound, pressure,
vibration, damping, color and strain measurements and
testing of spatial systems.
His present research activity is devoted to studies
regarding the Turin Shroud, measurements by means of vision systems
and diagnostic of structures.
