Roberta Ferretti

Roberta Ferretti is a researcher at the Italian National Research Council. She received her Master’s Degree in Physics in 2008. After working at CERN as high energy physicist (2008-2010), in 2013 she joined the Institute of Marine Engineering in Genoa. Her activity dealt with the sensing capability of autonomous marine vehicles, focusing on data acquisition and analysis for the seabed characterization using automatic methods for the detection of Posidonia oceanica. During her Ph.D. (2017-2021) in cooperation with the Italian Navy Hydrographic Institute, she worked on the development of new approaches for the observation of transient phenomena in critical marine environments using autonomous marine vehicles for the data collection in different Arctic and Mediterranean field campaigns. Currently she is working on standardization of autonomous vehicles data acquisition for fair data management and open science.
