I am assistant professor in Computer Science (ricercatore confermato INF/01) at the Dipartimento di Informatica e Scienze dell'Informazione, Università degli Studi di Genova. I carry out my research activity within the slipguru group where I lead the computer vision area. Indeed, my research interests are in the fields of Computer Vision and Machine Learning. My recent works have been on theory and algorithms for classification, feature selection and data analysis; study and development of methods for object and event detection and recognition in images and image sequences; design and development of applications in the fields of video-surveillance, biometrics and computer vision for Entry Descent and Landing (EDL).

I have been involved in a number of research and technology transfer projects. Recently I was RTD coordinator of the EU 7FP project VIT, Vision for Innovative Transport. Currently I am scientific coordinator of two technology transfer contracts with Thales Alenia spa and Gigavision srl.

I teach "Introduction to Programming" and "Signal and Image Processing", first degree and master degree on Computer Science respectively. Since 2008 I hold a PhD course on "Regularization methods for high dimensional learning" with Lorenzo Rosasco.
