Imaging & Vision Laboratory: Silvia Zuffi

 

 

Silvia Zuffi received her degree in electronic engineering in 1995 from the University of Bologna, Italy. She was a software engineer until 1997, when she joined the Movement Analysis Laboratory at the Istituti Ortopedici Rizzoli, Bologna, Italy. Since 1999 she has been with the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in the Institute for Multimedia Information Technologies. Her research interests include cross-media color reproduction, multispectral imaging and device characterization.
