Short Biography

Fabio Principe was born in Castellammare di Stabia (Napoli), Italy, in January 28, 1979. He received the Master Degree (cum Laude) in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Pisa, Pisa (Italy), in May 2003.

In 2004, he started his Ph.D. course at Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione, University of Pisa, under the supervision of Prof. Marco Luise. During this period, he focused his interests on signal processing and synchronization algorithms, CDMA techniques, positioning systems (GPS, SBAS, Galileo, and GLONASS), and low-complexity algorithms for software-radio applications. In particular he developed the signal processing and synchronization library of SOFT-REC, a GPS/SBAS software receiver (fully implemented in C/C++ language), in collaboration with INTECS S.p.A., under ESA contract (old ESA additional contact). He also worked as consultant in the GSR Galileo project, ACE+ project, and GARDA project with LABEN S.p.A. All these activities were done under the supervision of Prof. M. Luise. Furthermore, he spent 7 months (from the end of September 2005 to the end of April 2006) at the Communication Sciences Institute - University of Southern California, Los Angeles CA (USA), as visiting scholar, working in collaboration with Prof. Keith M. Chugg on Iterative Detection problems using Iterative Message Passing Algorithms. In December 31 2006, he ended his Ph.D. course and, in May 25 2007, he got the Ph.D. grade in Information Engineering.

In February 26 2007, he started to work as system engineer in the E.M. Framework Design Laboratory of IDS S.p.A.

Current Position: system engineer in the E.M. Framework Design Laboratory (IDS S.p.A.).

Research Interests

His research interests are in the general areas of signal processing, detection algorithms, signal synchronizations (timing, carrier frequency and phase), satellite positioning systems (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS) and its augmentation systems (such as SBAS and LAAS), CDMA techniques, modern coding theory (on LDPC, turbo-codes, etc.), and iterative decoding algorithms (Message-Passing, BCJR, etc.). He is also interested in low-complexity and efficient signal processing algorithms to develop communication systems following the paradigm of software-radio (as SOFT-REC project, general software-radio receiver, etc.).

Currently, he has focused his studies on GNSS systems and augmentation techniques for airnavigation applications, such as, aircraft land approaches (APV-I/II and CAT-I requirements), etc
