(2015)He has been co-editor of special issues on international journals:
He was co-director of the INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON MATHEMATICS "GUIDO STAMPACCHIA", 50th
Workshop on Optimization, Machine Learning and Bioinformatics in 2010 and scientific responsible of the
Erasmus intensive course on "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Microarray Data Analysis" in 2010 and in
2011.
He is Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics and of Source code in Medicine and Biology
of Biomed Central.
The scientific activity has been oriented to the design and analysis of models to describe complex systems
through the use of Neural Networks and Computational Intelligence methodologies, and to the design of
architectures and of learning paradigms for Connectionists models.
Such activity has produced the development of several applications in the following areas:
- Signal and Image Processing,
- Clustering, Classification and Visualization of multidimensional data,
- Environmental diagnostic,
- Anomaly identification in industrial systems,
- Bioinformatics,
- Medical Prognostics
- Survival analysis
- Neuroimaging
- Big data analysis.
