***Teaching activities
# For 20 years he has been regularly teaching for whole cycle, first level and master's degrees engineering programs with various courses taught in English, for courses in the area of information engineering, in particular in the areas of computer science and telecommunications. He took ownership and didactic responsibility for numerous exams in the field of analog and numerical signal processing, image analysis, information theory, electronic communications. Over the years he has been involved in the activation of five new courses (Numerical signal processing C (today Advanced Methods for Infromation Representation), Traffic Modeling for Telecommunication Networks, Law and Regulations of TLC, Processing and Acquisition Systems for Remote Sensing (today Remote Sensing Data Analysis) and Image Data Analysis. The teaching load is stable between 120 and 140 hours of frontal teaching per year. The teaching activity is coherent and often synergistic with respect to research activities.
