Scientific research activity

Main research interests (in chronological order)

1) geometry and dynamics of nonholonomic mechanical systems, hyperimpulsive control for mechanical systems

2) thermodynamics of mechanical systems and dicrete models for phase transitions in pseudo-elastic solids

3) Geometry of the Maximum Entropy Principles and applications

4) problems of statistical ecology using point process theory

Reviewers for Mathematical reviews and Entropy Journal.
Honors: Aldo Gini fellowship in 1994

Teaching activity:
MF has been teaching Fisica Matematica for the degree in Mathematics, Meccanica Analitica for the degree
in Astronomy and Modelli Fisico Matematic for the degree in Mathematics and the degree in Mathematical Engineering.
MF has been supervisor for about 20 degree thesis (laura Triennale) in Mathematics, Physics, astronomy, of two Master thesis ( Laurea magistrale) and one PhD thesis
