Giovanni Bonafè
About
I am an environmental modeller and software developer at ARPA FVG (Regional Environmental Protection Agency of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy). My work focuses on air quality monitoring, statistical modelling, and EU regulatory compliance. I am active in FAIRMODE (Forum for Air quality Modelling in Europe).
