Research Projects

<>From 1992 to 1998 I coordinated single and strategic CNR (Italian National Reseach Council) projects in parallel computation, geometric modelling, image processing and computer graphics.

<>From 1996 to 1998 I was involved in the National project "Beni Culturali" within which I analyzed DNURBS curves and surfaces for the simulation of dynamic processes.

<>From 1998 to 2000 I was involved in the National project "Analisi Numerica: Metodi e software Matematico" (MURST) within which has been developed the xcmodel system based on NURBS to model and render free form curves and surfaces.
