Guido Matrella (Member, IEEE) graduated in electronic engineering from the University of Parma, Parma, Italy, in 1999. He received the Ph.D. degree in information technology from the University of Parma in 2003. Since 2007, he has been a Researcher Assistant with the University of Parma. His scientific work is mainly based on the design of digital systems using HDL descriptions for integrated circuits and field-programmable gate array (FPGAs). In the latest years, his main research activities are framed in the assistive technology field and, in particular, in the use of networks of smart sensors to elderly home behavior monitoring. Within this field, often called Ambient/Active Assisted Living (AAL), he participated in several European projects in the framework of the AAL Joint Programme and Horizon2020.
