Biography
Simone Milani was born in 1978. He received his Laurea Degree (5 years course) with honors from the University of Padova, Italy, on December 2002 and the Ph.D. degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering on March 2007. From August 2005 to June 2006 he was visiting Ph.D. student at the University of California – Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA. From January 2007 he started working as a post-doc researcher for the University of Padova, University of Udine and Politecnico di Milano, Italy. On May 2014 he started working as assistant professor at the University of Padova until March 2020 since he got an associate professor at the same university. He has also been a visiting researcher at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brasil in 2019. He works in the multimedia research group and his research activity is focused on image/video/audio/3D data compression and multimedia forensics.
His research interest includes 3D reconstruction and understanding, light field data processing, learned compression scheme, point cloud compression/segmentation/classification, semantic segmentation of 3D data, audio compression, Time-of-Flight sensor data processing, depth compression, multimedia forensics, biometrics, anomaly detection and multimedia security issues. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia and IEEE Transaction on Image Processing. He has been involved in several European (FP7 REWIND, POR FESR Rebuilding the Past), National and university funded projects. He has co-authored many journal papers and conference proceedings.
