Sara Antinozzi

Sara Antinozzi is a Researcher at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Salerno, where she previously obtained her PhD in "Risk and Sustainability in Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Systems". She holds a degree in Building Engineering-Architecture and is actively engaged in research related to cultural heritage documentation and accessibility.

Her educational background includes a PhD in Risk and Sustainability in Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Systems from the University of Salerno and a degree in Building Engineering-Architecture.

Dr. Antinozzi's research focuses on the intersection of digital technologies and cultural heritage preservation, with particular emphasis on accessibility solutions for diverse audiences. She specializes in 3D modeling techniques, photogrammetry applications for small artifacts, and developing visuo-tactile tools for architectural communication. Her work bridges traditional architectural documentation methods with innovative digital approaches to enhance the understanding and accessibility of cultural heritage sites. She has conducted significant research on structured-light scanning for ornament digitization, HBIM (Historic Building Information Modeling) applications, and developing low-cost solutions for detailed cultural heritage documentation.

Her recent publications demonstrate a clear trend toward developing practical, accessible technologies for cultural heritage documentation. The research spans from high-resolution scanning of small artifacts using USB microscopes to creating tactile reproductions of religious heritage for visually impaired visitors. A significant portion of her work addresses the challenges of documenting complex surfaces and reflective materials, developing specialized methodologies to overcome these obstacles. Her research also shows strong alignment with Horizon Europe initiatives, particularly in developing digital-based communication strategies to break down cultural barriers in museum settings.

Dr. Antinozzi is associated with the Modeling Laboratory at the University of Salerno's Fisciano Campus, where she conducts her research and holds reception hours for students. Her work involves interdisciplinary collaboration with various research teams focused on cultural heritage documentation and accessibility solutions.
