Fabrizio Berizzi

Prof. Fabrizio Berizzi was born in Piombino (Italy) on 25-th of November 1965.
He received the electronic engineering and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pisa (Italy) in 1990 and 1994 respectively. He became an University researcher in 1992 and he was promoted to Associate Professor in October 2000. Since December 2009, he has been a full professor at the University of Pisa.
He has been an IEEE senior member since 2006.

Academic activities
From 1992 to 1999 he was the assistant professor to the following courses: Radar Theo-ry and Tecnique, Signal Theory I, Signal Theory II.
From 1994 to 2005 he was assistant professor of the Signal Theory course held at the Italian Navy Academic.
From 2000 to 2005 he was the lecture of the following courses: Remote sensing sys-tems, Signals and Systems, and Digital communications at the University of Pisa, Sig-nals and Systems at the Italian Navy Academic, Digital communications at the Univer-sity of Siena.
From 2006-2010 he has taught Digital communications, and Signals and Systems at the University Pisa, Analog and digital Communications at the Italian Navy Academic and Radar theory and techniques at the University of Siena.
Currently, he is the lecture of Random Signal and Radar technique at the University of Pisa, radar theory and digital signal processing at the Italian Navy Academic.
