Principe Fabio’s Summary

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, GNSS systems, 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. He also worked as consultant in the GSR Galileo project, ACE+ project, and GARDA project with LABEN S.p.A. All these activities were led by the supervision of Prof. M. Luise. Furthermore, he spent about 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 the Ph.D. course and, in May 25 2007, he got the Ph.D. grade in Information Engineering - Curriculum Communication Systems.

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

Principe Fabio’s Specialties:

His research interests are in the general area of communication systems, detection algorithms, signal synchronizations, GNSS systems and its augmentation systems (SBAS, DGPS, LAAS), CDMA techniques, modern coding theory (on LDPC, turbo-codes, etc.), and Software-Defined Radio technology. Recently, he has also focused his studies on GNSS procedures for airnavigation applications, such as, precision approaches (APV-I/II and CAT-I/II/III).
