Massimo Ferri is a member of the Department of Mathematics and of the Advanced Research Center for Electronic Systems "E. De Castro". An expert in the field of geometry and topology, namely the application of geometry and topology to some aspects of robotics, in particular to computer vision.

Kelin Xia's research work focuses on using differential geometry, algebraic topology, and statistical learning to study biomolecular structure, flexibility, dynamics, and functions. Recently, he has been interested in analysis of topological data (TDA), model machine learning / deep learning based on topology and their application in drug development.
