The Shape and Semantics Modeling group (SSMG) established by Bianca Falcidieno in the mid of '80s is currently formed by 14 permanent researchers and 15 PhD students and research fellows.

The research activities of the SSMG are both theoretical (formalization of structures and methods for shape manipulation, property demonstrations) and computational (development of algorithms).
Among the main objectives of the SSMG, it is possible to find the acquisition and reconstruction of 3D shapes; the manipulation and analysis of the geometric component of information, even in the presence of large amounts of data; computational geometry and topology methods for the analysis of 3D and nD shapes; the analysis, classification and recognition of shape and functionality of 3D shapes; the formalization and analysis of the  similarity of form (geometric, structural and semantic); and the natural interaction with 3D shapes in VR environments. All these research activities are well supported by the distinctive skills expressed by the SSMG (both methodological and applicative).
Besides, research activities of the SSMG aim at defining and developing approaches for the classification and usage of knowledge related to multi-dimensional and multimedia data and scientific/information resources in general. The general goal is to create tools supporting the formalization, extraction, treatment, analysis, recovery, visualization and interaction of digital contents and related semantics.
