Curriculum Vitae

Curriculum Vitae of A. Schettino
Antonio Schettino is aggregate professor of Geophysics at the University of Camerino, Italy.
From 1982 to 2002 he was a software developer and consultant in Milano, Italy, with
scientific interests in the application of advanced algorithms to geosciences. During this
period he collaborated with academic institutions in Italy (universities of Milano and
Camerino) and the USA (university of Texas at Arlington) to the design and implementation
of software for plate tectonic modelling. His academic track initiated in 2002, when he
received a PhD scholarship in Earth Sciences from the University of Camerino. From 2002
onward his scientific interests are focused on global tectonics, plate kinematics, and
geodynamics, with a special emphasis on the tectonic evolution of the Red Sea, central
Atlantic, and Mediterranean regions. He participated to eight financed research projects and
was scientific coordinator of one of them. He led six scientific expeditions in Saudi Arabia,
and Albania. He wrote 28 scientific papers, 5 of which were published in the period
preceding the academic track, and one book. From 2006 onward he taught courses of solid
earth geophysics and theoretical principles of geophysical prospecting (potential fields),
supervised two graduate students and one post-doc researcher in Geophysics. He is fellow of
the Royal Astronomical Society. He has an H-index of 13 (source: Google Scholar).
