From January 2009 I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Information Engineering, University of Padova.
Research Interests
I am working on two principal projects:
- Development of "smart" Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensors, enhancing the CGM signal output by means of original denoising, calibration, and prediction algorithms. The main goal is the prevention of hypo- and hyper-glycaemic events.
- Improvement of the Gene Onotology Annotation by the development of a new tool which allows to highlight errors in the annotation and to predict the function of new proteins
