   Fabio Veronese

Researcher – Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering

Fabio Veronese received his master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering in April 2011, with a thesis concerning the treatment chain of Tridimensional Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging to identify cancer in the “head and neck” district. Extending this thesis work, he also published an article at EMBC 2012, presenting a novel quantitative technique for cancerous tissue recognition. After completing his degree in June 2012, he worked as a temporary research consultant for Politecnico di Milano. Under the leadership of Matteo Matteucci, he implemented a prototype of P300-based BCI (Brain Computer Interface) for ALS patients in collaboration with Infosolution SPA. In 2012, he also worked as a Research consultant for the “Istituto Tumori” (Cancer Institute) of Milan for advanced processing of MR Images and in a joint collaboration between the “Istituto Tumori” and the Politecnico di Milano in a project related to cancer data classification. Since November 2012 he is a PhD fellow in Information Technology under the supervision of Fabio Salice. He is also a member of the ATG group, dealing with human localization, data organization and behaviour analysis. His specialities and interest areas are in complex, multidimensional and biological signal processing and analysis.

   Simone Mangano

Researcher – Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering

Simone Mangano is a research assistant at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) of Politecnico di Milano. He received his M.Sc. in Engineering of Computing Systems from Politecnico di Milano. He worked in the web technologies area for several years, from 2002 to 2007 at IRCCS Mario Negri in Milan. His research interests include system integration and web application technologies.

    Anna Trofimova

Anna Trofimova received her master’s degree from Politecnico di Milano in Computer Science Engineering in December 2015, and a specialist degree from Moscow State Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation; her Politecnico thesis (in collaboration with Andrea Masciadri) concerned the identification of activity of daily living and behavioural drift analysis of people in an indoor environment. After the degree, since March 2016, she has worked for Politecnico di Milano as a temporary research consultant. Under the leadership of Fabio Salice, she implemented a simulator of an indoor movement identifier using a net of Grid-EYE infrared array sensors.
