Giuliano Donzellini was born in Savona (Italy) on Sept. 5, 1954. He
graduated in Electronic Engineering from the University of Genoa in
1980. After an initial experience in the Civil Telecommunications
Division of the Marconi Italiana (Genoa), he joined the DIBE
(Department of Biophysical and Electronic Engineering, now DITEN,
Department of Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunication Engineering
and Naval Architecture) of the University of Genoa, Italy, as
Assistant Professor. He worked on automated instrumentation systems
for measurement, arbitrary waveform generators, image analysis
systems, process control systems, architectures for digital
phase-locked systems, object-oriented microcontroller architectures
and topographic surveying techniques with VLF and ELF. Currently he
is involved in hardware and software simulation of digital devices
for teaching computer-assisted and distance learning, and has
developed a specific software environment for learning digital
electronics (the Deeds, "Digital Electronics Education and Design
Suite"), which covers the areas of analysis and synthesis of
combinational and sequential logic networks, finite state machine
design, microcomputer programming, embedded systems, FPGA
programming and design with the use of HDL languages. He has been
involved in several EU projects dealing with issues in electronic
design and e-Learning.
Luca Oneto was born in Rapallo, Italy in 1986. He received his BSc
and MSc in Electronic Engineering at the University of Genoa, Italy
respectively in 2008 and 2010. In 2014 he received his PhD from the
School of Sciences and Technologies for Knowledge and Information
Retrieval at the same university, with the thesis "Learning Based
On Empirical Data". In 2017 he obtained the Italian National
Scientific Qualification for the role of Associate Professor in
Computer Engineering. He is currently an Assistant Professor at
University of Genoa with particular interests in Statistical
Learning Theory, Machine Learning, and Data Mining and he teaches
the courses “Logic Design” and “Data Analysis and Data Mining” at
the University of Genoa. He published more than hundred
publications in both book collections and international journals
and conferences.
Domenico Ponta is a Professor of Electronics at the Engineering School of the University of Genoa, Italy. He holds a master degree from the same university. After a few years spent in the United States as a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University and as a research engineer at Telesensory Systems, Inc., he joined the University of Genoa as Associate Professor in 1987. His research activity started with biophysics, semiconductor devices, circuits and electronic systems, then focused on the development of tools and systems for open, distance and collaborative learning, applied to Engineering and Computer Sciences education. He has participated to several EU projects in that field and carried out an extensive experimentation of toolsand practices. His long and continuous teaching activity includes courses on analog and digital electronics.
Davide Anguita (MSc - 1989, PhD - 1993) is an Associate Professor of Information Processing Systems at the University of Genoa, Italy (Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics and Systems Engineering). Before that, he held a visiting positions at the Hewlett-Packard Laboratories (HP-Labs, Analytical/Medical Dept., Palo Alto, CA, USA), the International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, USA and the University of Trento, Italy. He teaches the courses “Logic Design” and “Data Analysis and Data Mining”, he is member of the board of the Computational Intelligence Ph.D. course and coordinator of the management board of the Erasmus Mundus Doctorate on Interactive Cognitive Environments at the University of Genoa. From 2010 to 2013 he was coordinator of the course in Electronic Engineering and Information Technologies and, since 2015, he is the president of the ICT and Data Center of the University of Genova. His main research interests are in the field of theory, implementation and industrial applications of Computational Intelligence. He has been the principal investigator of numerous research and technology transfer projects (Finmeccanica, National Institute for Cancer Research, Whirlpool Europe, etc.) and was in charge of the research agreement between the University of Genova and Ferrari S.p.A. for the application of intelligent systems to FIA Formula One World Championship (F1) auto racing. He is also member of the EC-Network of Excellence NeuroNet 1 and NeuroNet 2, Chair of the Smart Adaptive Systems section of the EC-Network of Excellence EUNITE (European Network of Intelligent Technologies for Smart Adaptive Systems), and Chair of the EC Concerted Action NiSIS (Nature-inspired Smart information Systems) Focus Group on “Data Technologies”. He is co-author of more than 140 publications on international journals or refereed conference proceedings and two patents on intelligent systems. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
