structures and materials with special
concern to earthquake engineering.
• Geomatics (Head: Prof. Capra). This
group, covering different disciplines
such as geodesy, topography, pho-
togrammetry, digital cartography,
and Informative Geographic Systems
(GIS), develops technologies for the
land scanning and survey.
• Environmental Analysis, Models, and
Characterization (Head: Prof. Gher-
mandi). The scientific interest of this
group is mainly centered of the effects
of environmental pollution, the soil and desia, topografia, fotogrammetria, cartografia digitale, Sistemi
water decontamination techniques, Informativi Geografici.

• Hydrology (Head: Prof. Orlandini). The
development of digital models of the
ground, of surface water spreading, of
the soil-vegetation-atmosphere inter-
actions constitutes the main activity of
the group, also very active in the hy-
draulic risk predictions.

5.2.2 Electronic and
Telecommunication Engineering

• Micro and Nano Electronics (Heads:
Prof. Fantini and Prof. Pavan). The
research group is active in the field of
semiconductor devices: memories,
compound semiconductors field effect
transistors and ultra scaled CMOS.
The activity in the circuit design field
is devoted to Radio Frequency circuit
