Curriculum

Claudia Manfredi is Associate Professor (discipline code ING-INF / 06 Biomedical Engineering) at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Firenze, Firenze, Italy. She got the Abilitazione Scentifica Nazionale as Full Professor in Biomedical Engineering.
The research interests concern the development of efficient techniques of identification, modeling, analysis and classification of signals and images of biomedical interest.
Within the analysis of biomedical signals the activity concerns in particular the study of the human voice with application to the newborn cry and adult voices for the detection and classification of neurological and vocal diseases, also in relation to other clinical parameters. The study is extended to the analysis of the singing voice for educational purposes and of occupational dysphonia for medico-legal aspects.
In the field of image analysis the research deals with the development of contactless methods based on video recordings for automated analysis of movements. The applications concern the newborn for early diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, particularly those related to autism spectrum disorders, and the adult for the study of (micro) movements and facial expressions in patients with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and subjects in vegetative / minimally consciousness state. The study also concerns the extraction of objective parameters from high-speed images of the vibration of the vocal folds, to support the clinical diagnosis.
Research is carried out in collaboration with clinical and research centers both national and international (Firenze: Children Hospital A.Meyer, Nuovo S.Giovanni di Dio Hospital, IRCCS Don Gnocchi, Nursing Home Villa delle Terme, Pisa: Stella Maris Hospital, Rome: Institute of Health, Milan: Maggiore Hospital, Brussels: Univ. Libre and Inst. of Occupational diseases, Mexico: INAOE, Puebla) and is primarily aimed at the prevention, diagnosis and classification of diseases and rehabilitation after surgery of the vocal apparatus. The applications also cover occupational medicine, in particular as regards the effort vocal of call center employees and singers.
On the subject of research concerning the study of the human phonatory apparatus, Prof. Manfredi organizes and coordinates since 1999 the series of international conferences: "International Workshop on Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications", held every two years in Firenze and sponsored by IEEE-BME, Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze, ISCA, AIIMB, INFM, AISV, Elsevier Ltd.
