Elhanashi, Abdussalam
Dr. Abdussalam Elhanashi is a researcher at the Università di Pisa, Italy, specializing in advanced applications of deep learning and video imaging processing. He holds an M.Sc. in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from the University of Glasgow in Scotland and an MBA from the University of Nicosia in Cyprus. He earned his Ph.D. in Information Engineering from the Università di Pisa, funded by a prestigious merit-based scholarship from the Islamic Bank Development (IsDB) as Libya's top candidate in 2019-2020. Dr. Elhanashi was a Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde in 2021, where he applied deep learning models to analyse CT scans and X-ray images for medical diagnostics. In 2022, he was a visiting researcher at Hiroshima University in Japan, focusing on advanced video analysis techniques. With over 16 years of industry experience, he has successfully managed engineering projects, conducted system maintenance, and performed root cause analyses to address technical challenges. He authored the first Arabic-language book on artificial intelligence in Libya and has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed articles in international conferences and journals. He is a developer at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) in USA. His work focuses on real-world AI applications, lightweight model development, video surveillance, IoT-based low-cost embedded systems, designing AI-driven solutions for medical imaging, and efficient coding techniques for imaging and video processing systems.

Saponara, Sergio
Sergio Saponara, Director of the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Pisa, IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, obtained his Master's degree cum laude and Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering from the University of Pisa.
