Curriculum Vitae
Giancarlo studied Electronics Engineering at the Italian Polytechnic of Bari. He is specialized in microelectronics, digital electronics and semiconductor technologies. In 2004 he went to Madrid with an Erasmus scholarship and realized his master thesis on low-cost tomographic reconstructions by means of general purpose GPU programming. In 2010 he obtained a Ph.D. degree at the Telecommunications Engineering School of the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid with a thesis on modular acquisition systems for dedicated clinical applications. In 2011 he joined the Functional Imaging and Instrumentation Group as an INFN post-doc fellow. He was a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellow at the University of Pisa, working on high-performance PET data acquisition architectures, full-beam PET in hadron therapy and SiPM based PET. Now he is a researcher of the group working on PET/MR instrumentation.
