Fabio Solari

Fabio Solari is Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics, and Systems Engineering of the University of Genoa. His research activity concerns the study of visual perception with the aim to develop computational models of cortical vision processing, to devise novel bio-inspired computer vision algorithms, and to design virtual and mixed reality environments for ecological visual stimulations. In particular, his research interests are related to (i) computational models for motion and depth estimation, space-variant visual processing, and scene interpretation, and (ii) to the perceptual assessment of virtual/augmented reality systems and to the development of natural human-computer interactions. He has participated to five European projects: FP7-ICT, EYESHOTS and SEARISE; FP6-IST-FET, DRIVSCO; FP6-NEST, MCCOOP; FP5-IST-FET, ECOVISION. He is a reviewer for Italian PRIN and FIRB projects, and Marie Curie fellowships. He has a pending International Patent Application (WO2013088390) on augmented reality, and two Italian Patent Applications on virtual (No. 0001423036) and augmented (No. 0001409382) reality.
