Alberto Calatroni received his degree in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He worked in the Image and Sound Processing Group on sound steering through loudspeaker arrays and joined the group as a Jr Researcher after finishing his Master thesis. There he worked for two years on algorithmic as well as software/hardware aspects. In February 2009 he started pursuing his PhD in the Wearable Computing group at the Electronics Laboratory at ETH. He is currently working on the FET-Open project Opportunity, specifically in the direction of dynamic adaptation and autonomous evolution in context recognition systems.
