Biography
Welcome! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics at the University of Udine.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Udine, Italy, where my doctoral research focused on acoustic source localization using microphone arrays.
My research is in audio and acoustic signal processing, with a particular focus on acoustic sensor array processing and computer audition. My main research interests include:
- Sound source localization and tracking
- Signal enhancement through beamforming
- Deep learning methods for acoustic sensor array processing
- Simultaneous localization and mapping of sources and sensors
- Binaural hearing
- Acoustic scene classification
- Acoustic event detection and classification
- Speaker identification
My current work focuses on:
- Steered response power algorithms
- Sensor array processing with neural networks
- Time-delay estimation methods
- Automated procedures for optimal microphone placement
- Sound source localization with moving microphone arrays
- Microphone array-based musical interfaces
- Microphone arrays mounted on drones
- Machine learning for acoustic source localization
- Speaker identification using deep learning
- Joint speaker localization and identification
- Binaural acquisition and reproduction
I hold the Italian National Scientific Qualification for Full Professor in the disciplinary field IINF-05/A - Information Processing Systems.
I am a faculty member of the Ph.D. program in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.
