Prof. Antonio Cicone received his Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy, in 2011. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA, and then at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA. He is an Associate Professor in numerical analysis at the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics, University of L’Aquila. He was a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica, Rome, Italy, in 2014. His research interests include emerging fields of research which are at the intersection of numerical linear algebra and signal processing. In particular, he works on the development and mathematical analysis of new algorithms for the decomposition and time-frequency analysis of signals, and their applications to other fields of research, such as physics, economy, engineering, and medicine.
