CURRICULUM VITAE

Name: Gianluca CHIARINI

Date of birth: May 9th 1968

Languages: Italian, English

Education: Degree (magna cum laude) in Electronics Engineering

University of Perugia 5-31-1994

Experience:

In August-September 1992 he was at SSGRR (- L'Aquila - Scuola Superiore Guglielmo Reiss Romoli ) where he realized the simulation, on Matlab language, of an MPEG Layer 1 and 2 encoder for audio signal (MUSICAM), with a complete human hear modeling.
Doctor degree in Electronic Engineering from University of Perugia, with a thesis on the comparison between Satellite 3-axes attitude control system using classical control law or Fuzzy controller. He designed and realized software simulation (Fortran language) of a 3-axes decoupled Fuzzy controller.
From June to October 1994 he worked with Space Engineering S.p.a. on the design and software realization of SC attitude determination methods and on-board sensor modeling.
From October 1994 to January 1996 he served the italian Army as an Officer.
In January 1996 he Joined Space Engineering S.p.A. where he realised C++ models for Up and Down Link DVB TV.
From April 1996 to December 1997 he was involved in the realization of a Multi Carrier DVB On-Board ASIC Demodulator for SKYPLEX2 - Hot Bird 5 satellite where he was in charge of the design of the overall floating point and fixed point system simulations.
From January to February 1998 he was involved in the Wideband Digital Transponder GaAs 528 MHz Asic where he was in charge of architectural design.
From April to June 1998 he was involved in SKYPLEX2 ASIC integration and testing.
From September to December 1998 he was involved in MCD-2 ESA project where he was in charge of the floating point and fixed point system simulation and of the On-Board demodulator architectural design and algorithm selection.
From February 1998 to January 1999 he was involved on ESA CDMA ASIC project where he was in charge of the fixed point system simulations.
Since January 1999 he works on ROBUST MODULATION ESA project to design the future UMTS system.
He got experience in using Matlab tools and programming in Fortran, Pascal, C, C++ and Assembler languages included AD210x DSP family.
His main interests are in DSP and TLC fields where he has deep knowledge of

PSK, GMSK, FSK , QAM digital modulation schemes;

Trellis Coded Modulation Schemes;

FDMA, TDMA, CDMA channel access schemes;

Synchronisation Algorithms (timing, phase, frequency, frame etc…);

Multirate DSP such as bank filtering and spectrum estimate.

He is coauthor of:
