Main research interests

- estimation of biological population abundance over large study areas by means of two-phase sampling strategies;

- performance of cluster adaptive sampling, in terms of  efficiency and accuracy, with respect to alternative spatial sampling designs and the issue of imperfect detectability;

- ranked set sampling and steady-state ranked set sampling;

- coverage estimation;

- two-phase sampling strategy for estimating forest carbon sink.
