Main research fields<\/strong><\/p>\n

My research activity is focused on advanced biomedical signal processing and medical devices, with a particular emphasis on:
\n\u2013 Cardiac electrophysiology and non-invasive fetal ECG
\n\u2013 Telemedicine and telerehabilitation
\n\u2013 Wearable electronics and sensors for electrophysiological signals monitoring
\n\u2013 Electrophysiology of taste
\n\u2013 Neural signal processing<\/p>\n

Something about me…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started my academic career under Prof. Luigi Raffo’s (EOLAB) guidance, bringing my experience in signal processing and embedded systems development to the service of medical applications. After a while, I understood that bioengineering is not the application of electronics to the biomedical field, but rather a stand-alone discipline with a broader approach in which the human being, the physiology, and the pathology represent the starting and ending point of the research, performed exploiting engineering approaches. The assiduity in the frequentation of the National Bioengineering Group (GNB) meetings helped me refine my skills and knowledge of the bioengineering field, up to becoming for 5 years a member of the GNB Board of Directors. Along with my career progress, I collaborated with Prof. Annalisa Bonfiglio (DEALAB) to explore the world of wearable electronics and sensors. This gave me great opportunities and several stimuli for further research, in fruitful and continuous cooperation with the DEALAB team. MeDSP derives from this bag of experience, with the idea of representing a reference for the biomedical engineering activities at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of the University of Cagliari.<\/p>\n

I’m passionate about teaching as much as for research, considering the responsibility of the University in producing excellent research and in guiding the young to be the professionals and the researchers of tomorrow. This leads me to start every year new adventures, from the foundation of the IEEE Sensors Council Italy Chapter (with colleagues Calogero Oddo, Emiliano Schena, and Paola Saccomandi) to the organization of summer schools with top scientists on hot topics related to my main research.<\/p>\n

Currently, I’m proud to be an associate editor on the editorial boards of Scientific Data (Springer Nature), IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, and PLOS Digital Health.<\/p>\n
