Background
Dr. Gentile received his Dr. Ing. degree (M.S.E.E.) in
Electrical Engineering and his doctoral degree in Computer
Science from the University of Palermo in 1992 and 1996,
respectively. He also received his Ph.D. in Electrical and
Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of
Technology, Atlanta (USA), in December 2000, directed by
Prof. D. Scott Wills.
Dr. Antonio Gentile is currently Assistant Professor at the
Department of Automatics and Computer Science of the
University of Palermo, Italy.
Dr. Gentile is member of the Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory, of the Portable Image Computation
Architecture (PICA) Group at Georgia Tech, of the ACM
Society, of the IEEE Society, and of the IEEE Computer
Society. He is also a PRC Fellow of the Georgia Tech NSF
Packaging Research Center.
