Paolo ADDESSO Curriculum
Paolo Addesso received the Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in Electrical Engineering from University of Salerno (Italy) in 2000 defending a thesis entitled "A bifractal model of earth surface: simulation and statistical analysis." From 2001 to 2003 he worked at Ericsson Lab Italy as a software designer in the network management area. In 2005 he received the Ph.D. degree (from the University of Salerno) defending his thesis on "Modeling and statistical analysis of backscattering from fractal surfaces." From May 2005 to April 2015 he worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Salerno. Then, from April 2015 to November 2022, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Salerno. Currently he is an Associate Professor at the University of Salerno.
He has been a participant in several national research projects and two European (FP7) projects (GENIUS and DESIGN). From 2012 to 2019 he was a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. Since 2013 he has been a member of the KAGRA Scientific Collaboration and since 2017 of the Virgo Scientific Collaboration.
He is co-recipient, within LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC), of two International Prizes
- 2016 Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics
- 2016 Gruber Cosmology Prize
for being co-author of the paper describing the discovery of gravitational waves, i.e. “Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger”, B. P. Abbott et al. (LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration), Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 061102 – 11 February 2016.
For this discovery, the most representative scientists of LSC, i.e. Rainer Weiss, Kip S. Thorne and Barry C. Barish, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Paolo Addesso won a grant as Visiting Professor at GIPSA-lab, Universitè Grenoble Alpes - FR (23/01- 22/02/2017), for the research project “Data Fusion and Image Analysis for Remote Sensing”, in collaboration with Mauro Dalla Mura and Laurent Condat.
Paolo Addesso is a member of the editorial boards of the MDPI journals "Eng - Advances in Engineering" (since February 2020) and "Remote Sensing" (since September 2020), and he was editor of the journal "Mathematical Problems in Engineering" of the Hindawi Publishing Corporation (from February 2015 to November 2022).
Moreover, he is Senior Member of the IEEE (since November 2020), and Member of INFN, CNIT and GTTI.
His main research interests are about statistical methods in signal processing and data analysis, with particular reference to remote sensing, gravitational waves, sensor and data networks.
