Sonia Tomei
Head of Research
Sonia Tomei is an Italian researcher at CNIT (Consorzio Nazionale nteruniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni) in Pisa, where she has been working since 2011. She received her Bachelor’s (2008) and Master’s (2010) Degree both in Telecommunication Engineering at the University of Pisa. She spent the second year of her PhD course at the University of Adelaide (South Australia) studying the propagation effects on HF Skywave MIMO radars. After the Ph.D, supported by the University of Pisa (Italy) and the University of Adelaide (Australia) under a Cotutelle Agreement, she focused her research activity in the field of radar imaging and radar signal processing, gaining experience about ISAR techniques and Compressive Sensing among others. Lately she is working on the application of Artificial Intelligence for target classification in radar. Sonia is author of several papers and book chapters presented in leading international journals and conferences. She is currently involved in the management and research of several national and international projects funded by IT MoD, EDA and European Commission. She is also co-founder of Echoes s.r.l., an Italian engineering company specialized in the design, development and manufacturing of innovative radar systems.
