Maurizio Mongelli obtained his PhD. Degree in Electronics and Computer Engineering from the University of Genoa in 2004. He worked for Selex and the Italian Telecommunications Consortium (CNIT) from 2001 until 2010. He is now a researcher at CNR-IEIIT, where he deals with machine learning applied to health and cyber-physical systems. He is co-author of over 100 international scientific papers, 2 patents and is participating in the SAE G-34/EUROCAE WG-114 AI in Aviation Committee.
Sara Narteni graduated in Bioengineering at University of Genoa in 2020, with a thesis on biomedical image processing. She was a PhD student in the National PhD program on AI, based in Politecnico di Torino, in collaboration with CNR-IEIIT. Currently, she's a fixed-term researcher at CNR-IEIIT. Her research topics include Trustworthy AI methods with focus on eXplainable AI, applied to different fields including healthcare and smart mobility.
Alberto Carlevaro (Student Member, IEEE) received the M.S. degree in applied mathematics from the University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy, in 2020, with a thesis in mathematical physics, and the Ph.D. degree in electronics from the Department of Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications Engineering and Naval Architecture (DITEN), University of Genoa, in collaboration with the Istituto di Elettronica e di Ingegneria dell’Informazione e delle Telecomunicazioni (IEIIT), National Council of Research of Italy (CNR), Rome, Italy, in 2024, with a thesis on mathematical methods for trustworthy artificial intelligence. He was a Visiting Research Scholar with the EECS Department, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA, working on Physics-Informed Machine Learning. His current research interests include conformal prediction for trustworthy artificial intelligence.
TBD
Until 2019 he was Director of Research at the National Research Council and Head of the Genoa branch of the IEIIT (Institute of Electronic, IT and Telecommunications Engineering), of which he is currently Senior Research Associate.
He founded the CNR Robotlab (1990-2003) with the aim of developing experimental robotics. His research interests include control system architectures for Internet Robotics, human-robot interaction, and educational robotics. He led the first Italian underwater robotics campaigns in Antarctica during Italian expeditions in 1993, 1997 and 2001, and the first Italian underwater robotics campaign in the Arctic in 2002.
In 2000 he founded the "Scuola di Robotica" association, of which he is currently Honorary President, to promote this new science among young people and society in general through educational robotics.
In 2002 he coined the term and proposed the concept of Roboethics. In 2004 he was organizer and General Chair of the “First International Symposium on Roboethics” at Villa Nobel in Sanremo and in 2006 of the “EURON Roboethics Atelier”, which produced the First Roboethics Roadmap.
For his merits in the field of science and society, in 2009 he was awarded the title of Commander of the Order to the Merit of the Italian Republic.
