BIOGRAPHY
Sara Baldoni received her Bachelor degree in Electronics Engineering from Roma Tre University in 2016, with a thesis about distributed image processing for Earth observation from LEO satellites. She received her Master degree in Information and Communication Technology Engineering from Roma Tre University in 2018, with a thesis about security for GNSS Augmentation Networks. She has been enrolled in the Ph.D. course in Applied Electronics at Roma Tre University from 2018 to 2021 designing of a context-aware security framework which has been applied to geolocalization and Cyber-Physical Systems. She has been a Post Doc researcher at the Department of Industrial, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering at Roma Tre University from December 2021 to February 2023, and she is now a non-tenured assistant professor at the University of Padova. Her main research interests are in the area of multimedia signal processing, quality of experience, and immersive technologies. She serves as Associate Editor for ELSEVIER Displays Journal and for ELSEVIER Signal Processing: Image Communication.
