Experience-Italy

r. Fiorini’s Graduate Degree in Electronics Engineering at "Politecnico di Milano", in 1975, included a specialty on Advanced Statistical Analysis, Sampling Theory, Quality Control and Simulation of Multi-Dimensional Biomedical Data at the Biomedical Engineering Research Group, Istituto di Macchine, Politecnico di Milano, Italy.

In 1978, Dr. Fiorini received the "Energetics Fellowship Award" from the Italian Ministry of Research and University, and began to attend Politecnico di Milano and Universita` Commerciale Luigi Bocconi, Milano, specializing in Energetics (Energy Systems Management). He gave Lectures, Seminars and Courses on Optimal Control of Machines, Renouvable Energy Sources Management, Complex Systems Real-Time Optimal Control at Politecnico di Milano. In 1981, Dr. Fiorini joined the "Politecnico di Milano" Faculty as a full-time Academic Research Professor at "Dipartimento di Energetica".

Dr. Fiorini's research activities gave a key contribution to the development of new self-calibrating digital telethermographic instrumentation for cardio-surgical applications and the VIPS (Vital Image Processing Software) package. VIPS is a software simulation package research tool, developed under a research cooperation between "Dipartimento di Energetica" and "Dipartimento di Elettronica", devoted to the analysis and synthesis of scientific digital signal and images for tele-thermographic and bio-optical applications.
Dr. Fiorini was also responsible for scientific results under a multi-year research contract with Alfa Lancia S.p.A. for the design and development of one of the first Italian ICAES (Integrated Computer Assisted Engineering and Simulation) Strategic Systems, called GIULIA (General Investigation on Unsteady Liquid Injection Actuators). That was the right opportunity to futher specialize in Expert Systems development, Finite Element Analysis simulation, Computer Graphics visualization techniques and Synthetic Environments creation, assessment and validation.

In 1990, Dr. Fiorini joined the brand new Dipartimento di Bioingegneria (Biomedical Engineering Department) at Politecnico di Milano, as a full-time Senior Academic Research Professor, teaching Courses and Seminars on Advanced Optimal Biomedical Instrumentation, Optimal Inferential Techniques for Reliable Dataset Forecasting, Quality Control, Mathematical and Statistical Techniques for Advanced Biomedical Multi-Dimensional Dataset Analysis and Simulation. His research activities are giving a tangible contribution to the development of new generation Biomedical Instrumentation, Biometrics Systems, and Strategic Active Support Systems for the Public Health Enterprise Business to shape the Biotechnology Laboratory and the Hospital of the Future.

Experience-USA

uring Summer 1982, Dr. Fiorini was invited to join Prof. J.D. Powell's Research Group to contribute to a joint research project between the Mechanical Engineering Department and the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department, Stanford University (SU), California, on Numeric Estimation Theory applied to Real-Time Optimal Digital Control. That was his first opportunity to get familiar to the American System of Higher Education. Since 1982, Dr. Fiorini spent almost half a year in the USA for Research Activities, Seminars, Presentations and Academic Courses, every year.

Dr. Fiorini's research activities contributed to the design and development of real-time data acquisition system, experimental internal combustion engine real-time digital control test-bench and the creation of multi-dimensional experimental signal fiduciary databases for real-time digital control algorithm assessment and validation.

In 1987 Dr. Fiorini was invited to join the Research Group on Intelligent Networking at the Computer Science Department, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). For about two years Dr. fiorini has been living in Los Angeles specializing in Intelligent Networks, Machine Learning, Evolutionary Computing, Genetic Algorithms, Inferential Techniques to Distill Knowledge from Massive Databases, Distributed System Management Strategy Theory and Enterprise Strategic Management.

Since 1989, Dr. Fiorini has been spending almost half a year in the U.S.A., for International Conferences, Seminars, Presentations and Training Courses to Private Institutions, almost every year.
