Main research line of Prof. Roberto Confalonieri (PhD) is the analysis of biophysical processes aimed at formalizing knowledge in mathematical models. Main author of models for rice (WARM) and grassland (CoSMo) simulation, as well as of new metrics for model evaluation, formalizing for the first time the concepts of model robustness, balance and plasticity, and proposing statistical criteria for their quantification. Author of the visual Jackknife, a non-parametric, assumption-free statistical method for sample size determination. Developer of software for agronomic and environmental researches and analysis, like a mobile app for leaf area index estimates (PocketLAI), applications and multi-approach software libraries implementing biophysical models. Other interests include the design and construction of instrumentation for the determination of biophysical variables (a machine for determining the stability of soils aggregates, a floating micrometeorological station, level sensors).
Leader of the JRC team that developed the rice yield forecasting system currently used by the European Commission. Workpackage leader in the EU-FP7 projects E-AGRI, MODEXTREME, ERMES. World bank consultant within a project aimed at assessing climate change impact on land use in Latin America.
