Mauro Barni

Mauro Barni was born in Prato, Italy, in 1965. He received his B.S. in electronic engineering at the University of Florence in 1991. He received the Ph.D. in informatics and telecommunications in October 1995. From 1991 through 1998 he was with the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Florence, Italy, where he worked as a postdoctoral researcher. Since September 1998, he has been with the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Siena, Italy, where he works as Assistant Professor. His main interests are in the field of digital image processing and computer vision. His research activity is focused on the application of image processing techniques to copyright protection and authentication of multimedia data (digital watermarking), and to the transmission of image and video signals in error-prone, wireless, environments. He is author/co-author of more than 100 papers published in international journals and conference proceedings. Mauro Barni is member of the IEEE, where he serves as member of the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee (MMSP-TC).
