Simone Milani is enrolled as research associate at the University of Padova within the research project "Analysis and implementation of a scalable video coder for transmission over heterogeneous unreliable networks based on distributed coding principles" under the supervision of prof. Giancarlo Calvagno. His main research topics are digital signal processing, source coding, joint source-channel coding, robust video transmission over lossy packet networks, distributed source coding. He is also a IEEE member of Information Theory and Signal Processing Societies.
