Leonardo Bocchi received the Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy. He is a Researcher of Biomedical Engineering with the Department of Information Engineering, University of Florence, Firenze, Italy. He has authored and co-authored about 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and proceedings of national and international conferences. His research interests include computer-aided diagnosis tools based on medical image and signal processing, artificial intelligence techniques based on soft computing, and modeling of physiologic systems and cognitive processes. Main applications concern the detection and classification of breast tumors, based on ultrasound, radiographic, or magnetic resonance imaging; the study of the micro circulatory dynamics and their relations with chronical or complex pathological conditions as diabetes or sepsis; and cognitive and behavioral modeling using nonintrusive monitoring techniques as movement analysis, face expression properties, and sentiment analysis. Dr. Bocchi is a member of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) and the IEEE EMBS Technical Committee on Cardiopulmonary Systems.
