From 1968 to 1969 he was with the PSA (Special Program
Automation) National Research Council, Milan, Italy, and, then he
joined the Institute of Automation, now, Department of Electronics,
Computer Science and Systems at the University of Bologna, where he
has been associate professor of Biomedica Instrumentation from 1972
to 1979.
He then passed to the Department of Systems and Computer Science
of the University of Florence as full professor of Biological
Systems from 1980 to 1985. Since 1985 he is full professor of
Biomedical Instrumentation at the Department of Electronics,
