Duccio Rocchini [born in 1975 in Siena] is Full Professor at Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna from December 2019, after having been Associate Professor in Biology and Ecology at the University of Trento, from February 2017. He attained his PhD in 2005, dealing with remote sensing applied to the estimate of biodiversity.
After having collaborated with international researchers from institutions like U.S. Geological Survey, University of Nottingham (School of Geography, UK), Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (India), University of California Los Angeles (Department of Geography, US), he joined the Fondazione Edmund Mach in Trento in 2009, in GRASS GIS and Remote Sensing group of Markus Neteler, dealing with open source algorithms for Ecology.
He has contributed to several major international projects - including Horizon Europe B3, Horizon Europe EarthBridge, H2020 SHOWCASE, H2020 TRuStEE and FP7 EUBON - with roles ranging from Workpackage Leader to Task Leader.
Over the years he promoted the development of open source algorithms for computational, mathematical, spatial and theoretical ecology.
