Bio

I received the MSc degree in telecommunication engineering from the University of Siena, Italy in 2003. Since 2004 I am a research student and assistant tutor at the Electronic Engineering department of the Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom. In 2003 I visited the Signal Processing Institute at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, working as a guest research student in the area of video coding and signal representation with redundant dictionaries. My research interests are object tracking, classification, Bayesian filtering, sparse image and video coding. I completed my PhD research on "Monte Carlo methods for visual target tracking" in June 2008 under the supervision of Prof. Andrea Cavallaro.

Up-to-date information on my research interests and publications can be found here.

Awards

- Winner of the best student paper contest at ICASSP 2005, the IEEE International Conf. on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing.
- Member of the Team winner of CSIDC 2002, the IEEE Computer Society 3rd Annual International Design Competition, by means of the project "Blue Sign Translator", an instant translator from English to deaf sign language.
