Vincenzo Ferrari graduated in Computer Engineering with a thesis on the development of humanoid man-machine interfaces. He started his first research work on similar issues at the National Research Council of Padua, where he also developed tools for the acquisition and analysis of biomechanical data related to phonation in pathological subjects or not.
Then, he worked for a private company as a R&D coordinator of a small team to develop systems for data acquisition and quality control by artificial vision (in the pharmaceutical division) and voice interactive systems, animatronics, and 3D avatars (in the Entertainment division).
In 2006, he joined the EndoCAS Centre for Computer Assisted Surgery of the University of Pisa as a PhD Student. He defended his thesis in February 2009 regarding segmentation, registration, and mixed reality and afterwards, he became the scientific coordinator of EndoCAS.
During his Phd studies and his past experiences, he matured competences and interests for his research activities: development of innovative algorithms and devices for Image Guided Surgery and Surgical Simulation. He is now working in the area of clinical needs and some of his inventions are patented. The SpinOff Company he founded is based on one of his patents.
