Federico Fontana received the Laurea degree in electronic
engineering from the University of Padova, Padua, Italy, in 1996, and the Ph.D.
degree in computer science from the University of Verona, Verona, Italy, in
2003. During the Ph.D. degree studies, he was a Research Consultant in design
and realization of real-time audio DSP systems. He is currently an Associate
Professor with the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics,
University of Udine, Udine, Italy, teaching auditory and tactile interaction
and computer architectures. In 2001, he was a Visiting Scholar with the
Laboratory of Acoustics and Audio Signal Processing, Helsinki University of
Technology, Espoo, Finland. His interests include interactive sound processing
methods and the design and evaluation of musical interfaces. He coordinated the
EU project 222107 NIW under the FP7 ICT-2007.8.0 FET-Open call from 2008 to
2011. Since 2021 he has been a Senior Area Editor for IEEE/ACM
Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing. Since 2023 he serves also as an Associate Researcher for the Zurich University of the Arts in Switzerland. His research
interests mainly include interactive audio signal processing, and design and
evaluation of musical interfaces.
