Stefano Berretti received the Doctoral Degree in Electronics Engineering cum laude (Laurea in Ingegneria Elettronica), and the Ph.D. in Computer and Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Florence, Italy, in 1997 and 2001, respectively. In 2000, he received the post-Doctoral degree in “Multimedia Content Design,” from the University of Florence. From 2000 to 2002 he has been a Research Assistant at the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering, and from 2002 to 20011 Assistant Professor in the same Institution. Since 2011 he is an Associate Professor at the Department of Information Engineering, of the University of Florence, where he currently teaches “Operating Systems” and “Fundamentals of Computer Programming” at the Engineering School. Since 2001 he also teaches “Database Systems” at the post- Doctoral school in “Multimedia Content Design” of the University of Florence.
Stefano Berretti has participated as researcher at several national and international research projects. He is author of about 100 publications appeared in international journals and conferences. His current research interests mainly focus on pattern recognition, image, video and 3D objects databases, multimedia information retrieval, 3D objects partitioning, 3D face and expression recognition, 4D video analysis for biometric applica- tions. On this latter subject, in October-November 2009, Stefano Berretti has been visiting Professor at the Institute TELECOM, TELECOM Lille 1, in Lille, France. On themes related to image content description and retrieval, during spring 2000, he has been also visiting researcher at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), in Mumbai, India. In June 2013 he has been also visiting Professor at the University of Science Technology & Research, Sharjah campus, United Arab Emirates. The paper on 3D face recognition at MIR’06 co-authored by Stefano Berretti was ranked as the best paper among all submitted works. The 3D face recognition approach based on this paper resulted the best competitor at the SHREC’08 contest on 3D face recognition.
