Furthermore, the chosen will be held to manage any critical issues releated to the study progress, to relate with the staff involved in the study and with the ethics committee.
Research objectives. The research activity will be focused on the design of electronic circuits and systems for precision agriculture and agriculture 4.0. Some devices will be investigated and designed, such as sensors for the plant health assessment and gas sensors. Particular attention will be paid to device size, portability, power consumption and connectivity to the network for data transfer. Implementation and related prototyping of one or more circuits will be evaluated. An experimental characterization and measurements phase is planned.
Research objectives. The experimental activity will be developed through the production of synthetic fibers filled with different percentages of waste composite material through a twin-screw extruder and defining the rheological properties by Melt Flow Index (MFI) tests of the various hybrid formulations for optimizing the mixing process between polymer matrix and inorganic mineral fillers. Characterization of the obtained fibers by electron microscopy, dynamic-mechanical analysis, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry is planned. Operationally, the compatibility of the hybrid fibers produced with the cement matrix will be evaluated by pull tests and the production of fiber-reinforced concretes.
Research objectives. Study and development of systems to immobilize agents capable of inactivating the active ingredients in delivery systems or already disseminated in the environment. The combination of materials and degradative agents is based for example on layered matrices also produced by stereolithography.
Research objectives. The activity involves verifying the functionality of new technologies applied in agriculture. Specifically, the activity involves morphological, growth, vigour and physiological analyses.

Research objectives. The candidate will be asked upon to investigate the dynamics of transformation of city places and public spaces by prefiguring the change brought about by the introduction of autonomous driving vehicles in the urban environment, as an integral part of a mobility system.The candidate will be called upon to analyse implementation scenarios of the proximity city through the Urban Strategic Design methodology and introducing the variables brought about by the diffusion of autonomous driving vehicles in one or more case studies.
Research objectives. The grant holder will have to carry out a wide-ranging investigation into the possible role of trade union organizations and public bodies in the design and application of social finance tools. Starting from the research results obtained by the other units, the grant holder will have to: 1) carry out a survey, also at a comparative level, of the legal models used for the implementation of this type of economic projects and, in particular, verify through which legal instruments collective organizations and public administrations are involved; 2) identify the most functional contractual models for the involvement of social partners and public bodies in the creation of social finance instruments; 3) analyze all the inherent legal problems and develop possible solutions.

Research objectives. The post-doc researcher will have to develop new deep learning architectures for instance segmentation and classification of multi-spectral satellite images with the goal of extracting from them information about the type and status of existing cultures. He/she will also have to study an integrated system which exploits also other information gathered from different sources (field analyses, meteo information, air quality monitoring, etc.) with the aim of building a decision support system that eases the irrigation and release of pesticides in an ecological and economical sustainable way.
Research objectives. The research activities on analogue modelling and seismic reflection profiles interpretation will be tightly connected with the geologic research task named “Stratigraphic and deformation pattern analysis in field analogues to support 3D modelling of subsurface fluid reservoirs”. We will run sandbox experiments designed to simulate subsurface reservoir geometry, helping seismic data interpretation in regions of poor imaging, where uncertainty is high. Experiments will be run in the “Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Analogue Modelling Laboratory”, where high-technology sandbox prototypes are available. Seismic data interpretation will be performed in the omonymous laboratory, where workstations equipped with specific software are available. We expect to reconstruct 3D geometry of selected buried anticlines suitable to be exploited as reservoir for fluid storage.
