About

Filippo Piccinini is a multidisciplinary researcher with a wide range of experience in working on interdisciplinary projects. His research fields are: Microscopy, Computer Vision, 3D Cell Biology, and Regeneration Medicine. He was born in Forlimpopoli (FC, Italy) on 20th April 1985. He spent his childhood in Faenza (RA, Italy), where he attended the Istituto Tecnico Industriale Statale "L. Bucci"(Technical High-School), graduating with the final score of 100/100. Immediately later, he pursued his studies by completing a Bachelor and Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering in Cesena, University of Bologna, where he achieved the final score of 110/110 Cum Laude for both University courses. While following his 5-year degree program, Filippo worked as a secondary school teacher for 4 years, graduating perfectly on time and presenting the Master’s thesis that won the 2009 edition of the "Ing. Mario Pasquini” award. After completing his Master’s degree he benefited from a grant of the Ministry of Education for a Ph.D in Information Technology and promptly started his career as a researcher under the supervision of Prof. Alessandro Bevilacqua (University of Bologna). During his Ph.D. time he took part in various projects on Image Processing applied to Oncology by publishing 4 journal articles and 7 conference proceedings in the first 3 years of research. At the end of his Ph.D., he had the honour of being selected to hold the final speech of the Graduation Closing Ceremony by the Rector of the University of Bologna. He currently works as a researcher at the Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems (ARCES), University of Bologna, and collaborates with many International research institutions, including the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland, and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Szeged, Hungary where he spend several months every year. Finally, Filippo is a member of many associations such as Computer Vision Group (CVG, University of Bologna), Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems (ARCES, University of Bologna), Network of European Bioimage Analysts (NEUBIAS), Italian National Bioengineering Group (GNB) and Italian Group for Mesenchymal Stem Cells Research(GISM). Today he has several journal publications, some of which published in very important journals such as Nature Methods. In addition, he won several awards and most of his ideas were supported by fellowships granted by European associations, such as Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) and European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).
