6. Responsible persons
Dr. Andrea Masini received his Laurea degree in telecommunications engineering and his PhD degree in remote sensing from University of Pisa
in 2004 and 2008, respectively. He is now working as head of the remote sensing department at Flyby S.r.l, Livorno, Italy. His current research
interests concern image processing, in particular environmental monitoring from remotely sensed images, pattern recognition and information
fusion. He has been Project Manager of FISHSAT/ESA, SATOUR /ESA and he has also co-ordinated a number of National funded projects . He is
the author or co-author of more than 20 scientific papers in journals and conferences.
Dr. Emilio Simeone received his Laurea degree in Physics from University of Pisa in 1988 and his PhD degree in Applied Optics from the
University of Florence in 2000. From 1991 to 2000 he has been Head of the Research & Development Department of Kayser Threde group
(Italy). Currently he is the managing Director of Flyby srl. His technical and research activities have been in the area of data processing and
optics design. He has been Project Manager of several international and national projects
Dr. Andrea Bracci received his Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2002, his Master's Degree in Automation Engineering in 2004 and
its PhD degree in Automation, Robotics and Bioengineering in 2008 at the University of Pisa. He was a post-doc fellow at the Department of
Mechanical, Nuclear and Production Engineering of the University of Pisa from 2008 to 2011, where he was a researcher and software
developer for optimization of gears for high performance aeronautical applications. At the beginning of 2012 he was a real-time software
developer for aerospace applications in collaboration with Selex Galileo. He is now working with Flyby S.r.l, in the research and development
