moving objects.We perform evaluations in different settings: traffic simulations, identification of fraudulentactivities in a naval domain.Supervised a master student thesis about the use of a Particle Filtering based algorithm for portfoliooptimization.Research AssistantComputer Science department (DISCo), University of Milano –Bicocca, Milan, ItalyFall 2004 – Fall 2006Design of an intelligent video-surveillance system.● Research on motion detection: from a sequence of images we are able to identify theobject in motion. We implemented an algorithm (Single Signed Difference) that is simplerthan the state of the art algorithms while being as efficient.● Design and implementation of some tracking systems (Kalman filter, Particle filter)● Research on anomalous behavior detection: we proposed a technique based on parallelMarkov Chain for the identification of improper driving behaviors.Supervised a bachelor student project about the comparison and evaluation of different motiondetection algorithms in a specific setting of road surveillance.Teaching AssistantComputer Science department (DISCo), University of Milano –Bicocca, Milan, Italy2004-2008● “Operational research” taught by Prof. Messina (Winter term 2006, 2007).●“Operational research, probability and statistics” taught by Prof. Messina (Spring term2004, 2005, 2006).● “Operational research laboratory” (Winter term 2007)● “Financial system analysis” taught by Prof. Archetti (Spring term 2005, 2006, 2007).Taught classes.

Invited Talks at: University of Toronto; University of Regina.HOBBIES & PERSONAL ACTIVITIESWhen in Italy member of the council of the local Christian Catholic Church.During undergraduate school, student delegate in the faculty assembly.I like to help people in need and I am a very generous person. I have carried out many voluntaryactivities, in particular in favour of disabled people: we organized several summer camps with the“Aquilone foundation” (since 1997) and provided assistance during nights (at the VSP Bruzzano).REFERENCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
