Mario VENTO Curriculum

Mario Vento got the master degree cum lause in Electronic Engineering and the Ph.D. in Computer Engineering in 1989, both from the University of Napoli "Federico II".

He started his academic carrier in 1990 as assistant professor and since 2003 is full professor in Computer Engineering at the University of Salerno (Italy).

At the University of Salerno since 2013 is member of the Academic Senate, since 2011 Director of the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Applied Maths (DIEM) and since 2003 Director of the Mivia Lab (Lab of Intelligent Machines for Video and Audio Recognition).

In 2004 received the title of "fellow scientist" of the International Association Pattern Recognition (IAPR), for his outstanding contributions to Graph-based techniques in Pattern Recognition; this nomination is attributed to 0,25% of the members of the association.

He has been elected chairman of IAPR Technical Committee TC15 on ”Graph Based Representation in Pattern Recognition” in service from 2002 to 2006, and from 2003 as associate editor of the ”Electronic Letters on Computer Vision and Image Analysis”.

His research interests fall in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Image Analysis, Pattern Recognition, Machine Learning and Computer Vision. His research activity cover the areas of Real time Video analysis and interpretation for traffic monitoring and video surveillance applications, Classification Techniques, either Statistical, Syntactic and Structural, Exact and Inexact Graph Matching, Multi-Expert Classification and Learning Methodologies for Structural Descriptions, Cognitive Robotics.

He authored over 300 research papers in International Journals and Conference Proceedings and serves as referee for many relevant journals in the field of Pattern Recognition, Machine Intelligence adn Cognitive Robotics.

His h-index on google scholar is equal to 38, and his scientific papers obtained more than 8000 citations (data updated at October 2018). Seehttps://scholar.google.it/citations?user=3PwXGpgAAAAJ&hl=en.

Thanks to the impact of his scientific publications, since 2015 is nominated top-italian-scientist in the field of Engineering. See http://www.topitalianscientists.org/TIS_HTML/Top_Italian_Scientists_Engineering.htm
