Since the beginning of my research activities, I have developed a strong expertise in algorithm designs, and
especially in the Fields of Signal Processing and Error Correcting Codes for digital communications. The
way I like to work on problems is to understand and solve the issues related to the transfer of methods and
techniques from theory to practice. In particular, I focus on the practical aspects of algorithm designs,
which have an important impact on the industry. For this reason, I like to work in a collaborative way
with either with other universities or with companies, through direct contracts and collaborations or
within large consortium.
