logic systems for modelling from the same University. In 2001, she received the award of a Young Researchers Grant and in 2004-2005 she had a scholarship from the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Community at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Since 2006 she has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Rome Tor Vergata. She is member of the Italian Electrical and Electronic Measurement Group. At present, she teaches a course on image processing. Her main research interests are related to image processing techniques for the development of computed-assisted diagnosis systems, analysis of speech and facial expressions for automatic emotion recognition, and design of novel cell tracking algorithms for immune-cancer interaction analysis. She is the Principal Investigator of the project ""PainTCare, Personal pAIn assessemeNT by an enhanCed multimodAl architecture,"" funded by the University of Rome Tor Vergata, for the automatic assessment of pain in postsurgical patients, and team member of the Project Horizon 2020 ""PhasmaFOOD: Portable photonic miniaturised smart system for on-the-spot food quality sensing."" She has coauthored more than 70 papers in international journals and conferences.Marcello Salmeri received a M.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering and a Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, in 1989 and 1993, respectively. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Rome Tor Vergata, and Coordinator of the Electronic Engineering courses. His research interests include signal and image processing; theory, applications, and implementations of fuzzy systems; and pattern recognition. He is the author of about 100 publications in the fields of electronics, measurement, and data analisys.Rangaraj Mandayam Rangayyan is Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
