Vannozzi GiuseppeBorn on June 16th, 1973. M.Sc. in Computer Engineering at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" (1999) and Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of Bologna (2004). Since 2007, assistant professor in Bioengineering at the Department of Human Movement and Sport Sciences at the University of Rome "Foro Italico". Past positions: 5 years post-doc in the same institution; from 2000 to 2002, research assistant in different academic institutions (ARTSLab - Scuola Superiore S.Anna, Pisa; Dept. of Applied Electronics - University of RomaTre, Roma; Dept. of Biomedical Sciences - University of Sassari). Lectureship at the University of "Foro Italico": “Information and Communication Technology” in the Management of Sport and Motor Activities M.Sc. (2008-present); “Sport Physiology and Biomechanics” in the Sport Science and Technique M.Sc. (2007–present); "Computer Science" in the Motor and Sports Sciences B.Sc. (2007-2008). Lectureship at the University of Sassari "Information Processing Systems" in the Sanitary Professions B.Sc. (2008-2009) and at the University of RomaTre "Bioengineering of Locomotor Apparatus" in the Biomedical Engineering M.Sc. (2009-10). His work addresses the field of human movement analysis, concerning both the methodological aspect and its application in clinical and sport environments. His contribution was especially focused on the study of data mining and soft computing techniques for extracting information from biomechanical data. His research interests include the area of sport biomechanics, assessment of mobility and motor development, EMG signal processing. He has been awarded of an Elsevier Award (2006). He serves as reviewer for some refereed international journals in the field of biomechanics and applied computer science. He has been member of the following scientific societies: ESB, SIAMOC, IACSS. He has participated in research programmes funded by the EU, MIUR and other national institutions.
