I'm a researcher in an Italian university and my main field of interest are bio-electric signals and AFM and fluorescence image processing. I started to use Tcl/Tk as a tool language for various tasks required by the system management in our lab.

I'm actively developing Rivet. Apache Rivet is an open source collection of Tcl tools working together with mod_rivet, a module that enables the Apache HTTP web server to run Tcl code either standalone or embedded in HTML pages. Rivet current version is 3.2.1, available for download from the Apache Tcl Project .

In the past I wrote quite a few large applications based on Tcl/Itcl for various purposes (chiefly applications aimed at integrating devices such as PLCs)

More recently I wrote with Tcl and Apache Rivet a simple website framework for one my teaching classes. It started as a framework to be used by my students to develop a website's contents writing plain text pages using an easy to follow cooperative work flow. It later became a framework for entirely scripted web sites

Examples:

• a website about Biodiversity (in Italian)
• Rivet website is a pure HTML image of a scripted web site
• the website for a Master in Wildlife management (in Italian)
• The project Life Barbie , an EU Funded project concerning the defense and reintroduction of the native Barbel fish in Northern Italy
• The web site of the Workshops of the International School of Neuroscience and International School of Ethology hosted at the the 'Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture'
• The web site of the Institut des Sciences Cognitives - Marc Jeannerod (Lyon, France)
• Project Lifemilch website, a research project funded by the European Commission within the Life research program
