Previously, he has been with several companies in Italy and the USA (Finmeccanica,Accenture and IBM) and with the Idiap Research Institute in Switzerland. His main research interest is Social Signal Processing, the domain aimed at modelling, analysis and synthesis of nonverbal behaviour in social interactions. He has published more than 140 works and he is or has been PI and co-PI of more than 15 national and international projects, including the European Network of Excellence on Social Signal Processing (http://sspnet.eu ). He has chaired more than 25 international events - including the IEEE International Conference on Social Computing and the ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction - and he is a co-founder of Klewel (http://www.klewel.com ), a knowledge management company recognized with several national and international awards.
