12 Facts About Sergio Barbarossa

Sergio Barbarossa is a professor at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy.

Sergio Barbarossa proposed a new definition of the Fourier Transform for signals defined over a directed graph.

Sergio Barbarossa derived an analytic model for the eigenfunctions of linear time-varying systems and introduced the product high-order ambiguity function, an algorithm useful to estimate the parameters of multi-component polynomial-phase signals.

Sergio Barbarossa invented new ways to estimate the instantaneous frequency of continuous-phase signals embedded in noise, based on pattern analysis of their time-frequency representation.

Sergio Barbarossa contributed to the introduction of game theory to wireless communications.

Together with Fasano, Sergio Barbarossa introduced an optimal space-time coding technique, named Trace-Orthogonal Design, for MIMO systems with no channel information.

In 2012, Sergio Barbarossa launched the idea of endowing small cell radio access points with cloud functionalities, to enable mobile users to get proximity access to cloud services within the Radio Access Network.

Sergio Barbarossa published a series of papers on the joint optimization of communication and computation resources within the edge cloud.

Sergio Barbarossa proposed various ways to design self-organizing mechanisms, especially suitable for wireless sensor networks, inspired to mechanisms taking place in nature, like self-synchronization of phase-coupled oscillators or swarming.

Sergio Barbarossa was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2012 for contributions to signal processing, sensor networks, and wireless communications.

Sergio Barbarossa was named Fellow of the European Association for Signal Processing in 2015 for contributions to radar remote sensing, sensor and communication networks.

Sergio Barbarossa received the EURASIP Technical Achievements Award in 2010 for contributions to synthetic aperture radar, wireless communications and networks.
