Luca
Faes received the MS degree in Electronic Engineering from the University
of Padova, Italy, in 1998, and the PhD degree in Electronic Devices
from the University of Trento, Italy, in 2003. He was a Research Fellow
on system identification and modeling at the Medical Biophysics Division
of ITC-irst (Institute for Scientific and Technologic Research), Trento,
until 2001, and at the Biophysics and Biosignals Laboratory of the Department
of Physics, University of Trento, until 2008. He is currently with the
Interdepartmental Center for Biotechnologies (BIOtech) of the University
of Trento. He has been visiting scientist at the Dept. of Biomedical
Engineering, State University of New York, Stony Brook (May-July 2007),
and at the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute,
Worcester, MA, USA (Sept-Dec 2010).
Luca Faes is a member of the IEEE Enginering in Medicine and Biology
Society (IEEE-EMBS), and of the Italian Society of Chaos and Complexity.
He is Associate Editor for the Signal Processing Theme (since 2008)
and co-chair of the Track on Connectivity and Causality (since 2011)
of the IEEE-EMBS Annual International Conference. He is member of the
board of the journal ISRN Biomedical Engineering (launched in 2012).
He has been Guest Editor of the special issues “Methodological
Advances in Brain Connectivity” (Comp. Math. Methods Med. 2012)
and “Assessing Causality in Brain Dynamics and Cardiovascular
Control” (Phil. Trans. Royal Soc. A 2013).
The research interests of Luca Faes regard digital signal processing
and system modeling aimed to the characterization of physiological systems.
His research activity is focused on the development of advanced methods
for time series analysis and model identification, with application
to the study of the physiological mechanisms underlying cardiac atrial
fibrillation, cardiovascular control and brain activity and connectivity.
Within this field, he has authored three book chapters and about 100
papers in peer-reviewed international journals (see full
list) and conference proceedings, receiving more than 550 citations
until now.
