Fabio Verdicchio

Dr. Fabio Verdicchio is a Lecturer in the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen, UK, holding this position since August 2010. He serves as EEE Programme Leader (January 2022–present) and is a member of the Electronics and Optical Engineering research group.

Education:

• Electronic Engineering (summa cum laude), Universita degli Studi Federico II, Naples, Italy (2002)
• PhD in Applied Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium (2007)

His research spans signal processing, information theory, and multimedia systems with focus on distributed computing, peer-to-peer networks, and video transmission over unreliable networks. Current work addresses distributed sensing for disaster response and rural connectivity, plus multiview processing for 3D video synthesis and super-resolution. He investigates scalable coding, motion-vector techniques, and rate-distortion modeling for video standards.

Publications from 2003–2006 reveal deep expertise in video coding standardization (MPEG), error resilience, and motion-compensated temporal filtering. His work pioneered embedded multiple description quantization and scalable motion-vector coding, contributing directly to international standards.

Scientific awards: None documented in source materials.

Teaching includes course coordination for Computer/Software Engineering and Electrical & Electronics Design. He supervises student projects and maintains collaborations with UCLA, University College London, Ghent University, and industrial partners ST Microelectronics/IMEC. His IEEE membership supports ongoing research in resilient multimedia systems.

Research infrastructure involves the Electronics and Optical Engineering group with academic-industrial partnerships targeting wireless video distribution, remote monitoring, and vehicular telemetry applications.
