Biography

Aldo Napoli is a researcher whose work focuses primarily on the analysis and modeling of maritime data, particularly data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS). His research addresses critical issues such as the detection of anomalies in maritime traffic, the assessment of AIS signal coverage, and the integrity and reliability of data transmitted by these systems. He explores innovative methods—notably those based on artificial intelligence and graph neural networks (GNNs)—to improve the accuracy of signal reception models and optimize maritime surveillance. His contributions also include approaches to characterizing and quantifying port activity using AIS data, enabling a detailed analysis of economic and territorial dynamics. His work takes a multidisciplinary approach, combining geomatics, geography, and economics, while incorporating aspects related to cybersecurity and risk management in the maritime environment.

Projects

  • 2024-2028 Interreg Maritime JASON Scientific Director JASON vise à capitaliser la recherche scientifique, les avancées technologiques et les résultats des projets précédemment mis en œuvre en matière de protection de l'environnement et de sécurité maritime dans la zone de coopération géographique couverte par le programme Interreg Maritime. À la lumière de ces travaux, JASON se concentrera sur trois questions spécifiques ayant un impact particulier sur l'environnement, ainsi que sur un sujet certain de réglementation et une source de demande de nouvelles performances opérationnelles, telles que les sources d'énergie alternatives (propulsives et non propulsives), les navires autonomes et la cybersécurité maritime et portuaire, toutes ayant pour horizon 2050.
