Biography

Dr. Ovidiu Vermesan holds a PhD degree in microelectronics and a Master of International Business (MIB) degree. He is Chief Scientist at SINTEF Digital, Oslo, Norway. His research interests are intelligent systems integration, mixed-signal embedded electronics, analogue neu-ral networks, edge artificial intelligence and cognitive communication systems. Dr. Ver-mesan received SINTEF’s 2003 award for research excellence for his work on implementing a biometric sensor system. He is currently working on projects addressing nanoelectronics, integrated sensor/actuator systems, communication, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), with applications in green mobility, energy, autonomous systems, and smart cities. He has authored or co-authored over 100 technical articles and conference papers. He is actively involved in the activities of the European partnership for Key Digital Technologies (KDT) Joint Undertaking (JU), now the Chips JU. He has coordinat-ed and managed various national, EU and other international projects related to smart sensor systems, integrated electronics, electromobility and intelligent autonomous systems such as E3Car, POLLUX, CASTOR, IoE, MIRANDELA, IoF2020, AUTOPILOT, AutoDrive, Archi-tectECA2030, AI4DI, AI4CSM. Dr. Vermesan actively participates in national, Horizon Eu-rope and other international initiatives by coordinating and managing various projects. He is a member of the Alliance for AI, IoT and Edge Continuum Innovation (AIOTI) board. He is currently the coordinator of the Edge AI Technologies for Optimised Performance Embedded Processing (EdgeAI) project.

Dr. Alain Pagani is Principal Researcher and deputy director of the Augmented Vision research department at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). His research interests include artificial intelligence, computer vision, image understanding, and extended reality. He is the coordinator of the Network of Excellence dAIEDGE regarding distributed AI at the edge, and the coordinator of the Horizon Europe project CORTEX2 regarding remote cooperation using extended reality. He is a lecturer at the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau, and he has published over 100 articles in conferences and journals. His research finds applications in eXtended Reality for tele cooperation (project CORTEX2), artificial intelligence and computer vision for human–robot cooperation (project FLUENTLY), artificial intelligence and augmented reality for analysis of extremely large data (project ExtremeXP). Since 2023, he has been a Research Fellow at DFKI, which is a recognition for outstanding scientific achievements and special achievements in technology transfer.

Dr. Paolo Meloni is currently associate professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (DIEE) at the University of Cagliari. He is author of several international papers and tutor of many bachelor and master students’ thesis in Electronic Engineering. His research activity is mainly focused on the development of advanced digital systems and programming of multi-core on-chip architectures, with emphasis on the application-driven design and programming of SoCs and FPGAs.
