Since 1998 he is also responsible for planning and design activities related to ROMA TRE integrated campus telecommunication system and services. His research activity has mainly been focused on information theory, signal theory, and signal and image processing and their applications to both telecommunications systems and remote sensing. Of particular relevance is the investigation on novel digital signal processing techniques for mobile communications with very low impact on electromagnetic pollution carried out by the Inter University Research Center on Pollution caused by Physical Agents (CIRIAF) under grant of the ISCTI institute. These activities are carried out under tight cooperation with national and international ICT companies and research centres. Prof. Neri is author of about 160 publications. He is a member of the Managing Committee of CNIT (National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications). Besides he also participated in various Distance Learning projects.
