About mE
I was born in Mendrisio, in the Italian part of Switzerland and completed my studies there. As any Swiss italian not interested in economy or architecture, I moved from my home town for university and landed in Lausanne, Switzerland... Licence in Geography at the University of Lausanne, master of advanced studies in Environmental engineering at the Federal Institue of Technology of Lausanne and back for the PhD at the University of Lausanne, that's what I did.
My licence thesis was about building a GIS prototype to optimize the heat distribution from a waste-to-energy facility in Lausanne. For the master thesis, I moved to Chile, South America, for a joint project between the EMPA and the Universidad de Chile, aiming at the estimation of road traffic emissions with an emission model linked with GIS. LAst but not least, I worked for my PhD on a Swiss National Foundation project about clustering and classification of remotely sensed urban areas. The work focused principally on active and semi-supervised learning using kernel methods. You can see some of the results of the project here. After the PhD I moved on with a Postdoc about structured outputs classification and active learning ointly hosted by the Image Processing Laboratory of the University of València (Spain) and the Aerospace Engineering Faculty of the University of Colorado at Boulder (USA).
ResEarch
At present, I am working as a research associate at the LaSIG laboratory of the EPFL. I am working on a Swiss National Foundation project named: "Understanding the underlying structure of remote sensing images: improving adaptation in classification models with artificial intelligence techniques". The project principally deals with manifold description of high dimensional remote sensing data and adaptation of data processing models.

Here is the list of my publications
BoOk!
 | With Gustavo Camps-Valls, Luis Gomez-Chova and Jesus Malo, we recently published a book entitled "Remote Sensing Image Processing", that covers many aspects of remote sensing, going from physical indices, feature extraction, classification and retrieval of biophysical parameters.
