Rizzo Davide : Curriculum Vitae

Decision support processes are the target of my core skills that build upon more than 10 years of experience across multiple fields of application.

My PhD thesis at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (Pisa, Italy) contributed to laying the theoretical foundations of landscape agronomy with a characterization of terraced landscape management.

During my 4 years as a post-doctoral researcher at INRA-SAD Department (France), I addressed the regional description of existing cropping systems and crop sequences and their modelization to evaluate water quality and quantity consequences.

I contributed to the development of:
• a stochastic model of cropping sequences (CarrotAge then ArpentAge, INRA SAD-ASTER),
• a multi-agent system for the prediction of water used for irrigation (MAELIA, INRA UMR AGIR)
• participatory serious game and scenario-building methods for the description of territorial dynamics in rural areas(Territory game, INRA, UMR Territoires)

During a research assistant fixed-term contract at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (SSSA), I contributed to the regional characterization to support local water and land reclamation management agencies.
At SSSA I also served as responsible for the dissemination, exploitation and communication activities of the Italian partners of the FREEWAT European Union’s Horizon 2020 project, with a focus on open access strategies.

Since 2016 I teach and do research about the role of digitalisation and automation in the agricultural decision-making processes.

As an associate professor in agronomy, data scientist, I am co-responsible for the master level degree in agricultural equipment and new technologies at UniLaSalle, campus of Beauvais.

Being a member of the InTerACT research unit, I participate in conferences and publish about the mastery of new technologies by the various sector players: farmers, manufacturers, dealers and start-ups, with a focus on the internet of things and robotics
