RESEARCH INTERESTS AND BRIEF SUMMARY
| I received my degree in electronic engineering in February 2004 at the University of Bologna. In 2005 I moved to CINECA, a non-profit research consortium, made up of 67 Italian universities, and 3 Institutions in high-performance scientific computing group. I started the PhD scholarship in 2007 at the University of Bologna. In May 2010 I received my Ph.D. in computer science, electronics telecommunication engineering at the University of Bologna, where I joined the group of Ambient Intelligence and wireless sensor networks of the Department of Electronics, Information, Systems (DEIS). My thesis is entitled "Reconfigurable low power systems for distributed monitoring." Currently, I am working as a post-doctorate at the ETH Zurich in the Integrated System Laboratory working on low power embedded systems and wireless sensor networks at system and application level. The most important themes of my research are: sensor systems, wearable devices, embedded devices and wireless sensor networks (WSN), biomedical sensors, power management techniques, signal processing of embedded devices and sensors, sensor network in different application scenarios. In these fields, I worked actively both at hardware and software level, in particular, special emphasis on sensors systems and wireless communication in several applications such as video surveillance, sensor monitoring, and control, health care, smart homes, and building monitoring and automation. My research has led to interest in the design of intelligent devices, tracking systems, multi-sensors, video surveillance, multimodal and ultra-low power radio triggers and wake-ups, machine learning and classification algorithms, low power sensor data processing, low power radio communication and special emphasis on energy efficiency of the nodes and the network, using harvesters, such as solar panels, wind turbine, kinetic and thermal harvesters, and using the fuel cells to hydrogen to feed the nodes and recharging of batteries. As the main scientist for the University of Bologna, University College Cork and ETH Zurich, I followed several projects, most of them EU projects, for instance, FP7 GENESI project where he had to build a smart power unit with hybrid sources to supply wireless sensor nodes for structural health monitoring. I have collaborated with several universities and research center such as University College Cork, the University of Twente in the Netherlands, EPFL in Switzerland, University of Trento (Italy), University of Rennes (France) Sophia Antipolis (France) University of British Columbia (Canada), Imperial College London (UK), Politecnico di Torino, Tyndall Institute in Cork, and others. I have followed several under graduated and PhD students up to more than 10 in 2015 and 2016 at ETH Zurich. I am currently teaching “P&S Microcontroller” course and lecturer of ETH for the course 227-0155-00L Machine Learning on Microcontrollers. I severed as TPC and special session chair in many ACM/IEEE conferences such as IEEE/ACM DATE, IEEE SAS, IEEE WiMob, reviewer for several Journal and Transactions such as IEEE Transaction Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transaction Industrial Informatics, IEEE Sensors, and associate editor for Distributed Wireless Sensor Network Journal. I am a senior member IEEE and I have published more than 150 papers in international publications provided with ISBN or ISSN, including 30 of the scientific transactions and journals.
