Short bio

I am currently Full Professor at the University of Milano. I received my Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Padova in 2002, and worked there until 2017, as a postdoctoral researcher, Assistant Professor, and Associate Professor. My main research interests are in Sound and Music Computing (SMC), and mainly concern algorithms for sound synthesis and processing, non-speech sound in human-computer interfaces, multimodal interaction. I have been key researcher and principal investigator in several national and international research projects, have authored about 200 publications on peer-reviewed international journals and conferences, have chaired and served in several program and editorial committees. I have been Associate Editor for the international journal Acta Acustica (2014-201), and I am a member of the Editorial Board of Milano University Press. I am currently Conference Coordinator in the International SMC Board, and President of the Italian Music Informatics Association.
