Organizers

The IEEE ComSoc eHealth TC Ph.D. School is organized by the University of Genoa (UNIGE).      
Namely, the School is managed by the Digital Signal Processing Research Unit, a sub-group of the DITEN Department led by Prof. Fabio Lavagetto.

The School is supported by IEEE Communication Society and endorsed the IEEE ComSoc eHealth Techincal Committee of which Prof. Andrea Sciarrone is the Past-Chair and Prof. Chiara Garibotto is the current Secretary

The Digital Signal Processing Laboratory (DSP Lab) main scientific activities concern mobile signal processing and communications over mobile smart devices.

The rationale under the research developed in the DSP Lab relies on the idea of extracting high-level information from the raw heterogenous signals acquired by the different smart-phone's, or more in general smart-objects', sensors (i.e., dual-microphones, accelerometer, antennas, cameras, GPS, compass, gyroscope, ambient light), carried by the user, in order to understand the context around.
The strength of the DSP Lab lies in the combination of industrially relevant research, fundamental sciences and teaching. Partners profit from customized projects and the comprehensive approach to fundamental research issues.
