Strengthening of the Italian Research Infrastructure for Metrology and Open Access Data in support to the Agrifood
UNINA4 - Advanced engineered solutions for reliable data
(Reference person: Leopoldo Angrisani)
The OU enlists three research teams with suitable competences. The “Cloud and Networking” research team exhibits relevant expertise mainly on:
- Virtualization Technologies for Computing and Networking;
- Distributed Computation, Communication, and Storage;
- Big Data Analytics, including solutions able to process data coming from distributed sensors using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence;
- Computing and Network Security.
The “Bioengineering” research team exhibits relevant expertise mainly on design of tags for large libraries based on combinations of biomolecules building block, on processing approaches to stabilise - by chemical point of view- biomolecules to be used as biotags including DNA, on DNA biotag for food anticounterfeit, as well as on biosensors for the ultrasensitive detection of different biomolecules such as oligonucleotides. The “Measurement” research team can boast scientific- technological expertise and experience in the definition and implementation of innovative measurement methods and techniques in different research areas, the identification of uncertainty sources in measurement processes, and the evaluation of their influence on measurement results, as well as in modelling of measurement uncertainty. It exhibits relevant expertise mainly on IoT-based measurement and monitoring systems, cyber-physical measurement systems, self-calibration and self-testing techniques for sensors and IoT instrumentation.
