The
Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (Dipartimento di Elettronica e
Telecomunicazioni - DET-, http://www.det.unifi.it, head Prof. Dino Giuli) is the
basic structure for scientific research and educational activities of the
Electronics and Telecommunications School of Engineering of the University of
Florence. Formerly founded as 'Institute of Electronic Engineering' in 1971, the
Department of Electronic Engineering was established in 1983. Presently, it
consists of twenty eight professors, fourteen research assistants, fourteen
technical assistants, and an administrative staff of seven persons. Moreover,
more than fifty graduate students develop their activity for the Ph.D. degree in
the Department laboratories, and a similar number of external scientists
co-operate with the research groups.
Research
activities cover a wide range of topics, including Microelectronics,
Telecommunications, Telematics, Multimedia, Electrical Sciences, Electrical and
Electronic Measurements, Electromagnetics, Biomedical Engineering and Applied
Mathematics.
The
1996 budget for research activities (excluding salaries) amounted to about 4.5
Billions of Liras (roughly 2.3 Millions of Euro), coming from the Ministry of
University and Research, the National Research Council, the Italian Space
Agency, the European Community and a large number of research contracts with
Italian industries. A policy of the Department is in fact to provide support for
the development of industrial innovation and technology transfer.
The
educational activity associated with the Department of Electronic Engineering is
concerned also with the innovative courses of the First Level Degree of
Electronic Engineering, established in Prato, near Florence, in 1992.
The
Department is moreover coordinating for the following Ph.D. courses:
-
Telecommunications and Informatics Engineering
-
Electronic Systems Engineering
-
Non Destructive Testing
-
Telematics and Information Society
The
scientific activity of the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications in
Telematics, Advanced Multimedia Technologies for education and training areas
can be synthesized as below:
-
Telematics: Electronic Copyright Management System (ECMS), Intelligent Terminals
-
Metro-area broad-band networks and advanced satellite networks and related
applications for teleducation
-
Distance learning: development of multimedia advanced technologies and
applications for Education and Training.
-
Knowledge Management: design of a workflow management system and a workflow
management system to support the delivery of health services.
In
particular the research activities of the Department of Electronic Engineering
has increased their impact in connection with:
-
the strong support by the Tuscany Region Government (in particular through the
recently established “High Technology Network” supporting specifically
multimedia activities and initiatives);
-
the leader position in diffusion and development of advanced multimedia
techniques for education and training, in Tuscany Regional projects: TELEFORM,
UNIRE, MONICA, MONICA-2, TELOC MULTIMEDIA
The
Department of Electronics and Telecommunications has actively participated or
lead to several European projects.
