Personal profile
Overview
I am Associate Professor in Artificial Intelligence at the School of Engineering.
I joined LSBU in 2019 from the University of Padova, where I spent most of my studying and early research years.
I graduated in Electrical Engineering at the University of Padova in 2000, and then I earned the PhD in Bioengineering jointly from University of Padova and City University London in 2005. After being intern in Siemens Corporate Research in 2005, and then post-doc fellow in Padova, I was appointed Assistant Professor in Bioengineering in 2008, a post held until 2022. I was Visiting Senior Lecturer at King's College London in 2017-2019, and Visiting Research Fellow at University of Warwick in 2018-2021.
Since 2024, I am Director of the Bioscience and Bioengineering University Research Centre at LSBU.
Research Interests
The goal of my research is to create added value for the clinician who has to manage patients integrating very complex data. This can be achieved by extracting hidden or implicit knowledge from images and in particular of image-derived biomarkers.
Current and past projects involved the analysis of a wide range of data, including retinal images, confocal endomicroscopy images for virtual histology, multispectral brain MRI, perfusion patterns in contrast-enhanced ultrasound, prenatal ultrasound, and neuroanatomical data from non-human mammals.
