Antonio Cicone

My research interests are currently focused on an emerging research field at the intersection of Numerical Linear Algebra and Signal Processing. In particular, in collaboration with many colleagues from Italian and international Universities, I work on the development, mathematical analysis, and possible acceleration of new algorithms for the decomposition and time-frequency analysis of signals, which are made freely available online at Software, and their applications to applied research fields.
Among the most recent applications, we can mention:
- Medicine - analysis of biomedical signals (University of L'Aquila, and Physiolab s.r.l.)
- Optics - low-contrast optical fringe pattern analysis
- Mechanical Engineering - detection of thermal defects in infrared thermographic images (University of L'Aquila), and the improvement of the turbo jet performances via acoustic analysis (University of Bristol and Safran Landing Systems company)
- Geophysics - study of Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere, and GNSS signals (Institute of Space Astrophysics and Planetology of the National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome, the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome, and University of Trento)
- Astrophysics - solar physics and plasma dynamics (National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome, and Imperial College London), Gravitational waves (European Gravitational Observatory VIRGO in Pisa)
- Economy - analysis of economic time series including crude oil price and gross domestic product of a country (University of Teramo), statistical analysis of recycling data for the optimal transition to a green economy (University of Chieti-Pescara)

In June 2023 I received the ``Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale (ASN) -- I fascia in Analisi Numerica, Settore Concorsuale 01/A5'', 11 years Italian qualification as a Full Professor in Numerical Analysis

In June 2020 I received the ``Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale (ASN) -- II fascia in Analisi Numerica, Settore Concorsuale 01/A5'', 11 years Italian qualification as an Associate Professor in Numerical Analysis

I am a Research Associate of both the Istituto di Astrofisica e Planetologia Spaziali, INAF,Rome, Italy, and the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Rome, Italy.

I am a member of the Ph.D. program in Computer Science and Mathematics of Computation at the University of Insubria

I have been the Director and Scientific Committee member of the "Mathematics for Signal processing and Applications in Geophysics and other fields" (MaSAG) Summer School and Conference, which took place in a hybrid form online and in person in Rome in May 15-20 2023.

I have been the Director of the "Mathematics for Nonstationary Signals and applications in Geophysics and other fields" (NoSAG) Summer School and Conference, which took place in a hybrid form online and in person in L'Aquila in July 19-24 2021.

I am the Handling Guest Editor of the Special Issue of the Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis journal titled "Recent advances in time-frequency and time-scale methods for signal and big data analysis".

I am Associate Editor of the "Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics -- Mathematics of Computation and Data Science" journal.

I am an Editor of the "Advances in Data Science and Adaptive Analysis" journal.

Since November 2023 I am the PI of the project PRIN PNRR 2023 Linea Sud titled ``Circular Economy from the Mathematics for Signal Processing prospective'', funded by the Italian Ministry of the University and Research under the PRIN PNRR 2022 grant number E53D23018040001.

In May 2023 I obtained a ``Borsa di Ricerca PNRR'' -- Ph.D. scholarship on the topic ``Development of mathematical nonstationary signal analysis methods for euclidean and non euclidean spaces and their application to the improvement of circular economy'' (magieco) and in October 2021 a "PON Ricerca e Innovazione 2014-2020" “Istruzione e ricerca per il recupero REACT-EU” for a Ph.D. scholarship on the topic “Nonstationary signal analysis for industrial production optimization” in collaboration with the aHead Research of the Spindox Company, Rome.
