Prof. SALICONE SIMONA
Associate professor
Simona Salicone is an Associate Professor of electrical and electronic measurements at Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), Politecnico di Milano.
She received the M.Sc. and PhD degrees cum LAUDE in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2000 and 2004, respectively. In 2000, she joined the Dipartimento di Elettrotecnica, Politecnico di Milano, as a part-time Researcher. Since 2005, she has been an Assistant Professor of electrical and electronic measurements in the same department. In 2012, she joined the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), Politecnico di Milano and, since 2014, she has been an Associate Professor of electrical and electronic measurements in the same department.
Simona Salicone taught the courses “Digital Filters” and “Digital Signal Processing” of the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano and is actually professor of the course “Smart measurement architectures for electric systems” in the same degree.
Simona Salicone research activity deals with Digital Signal Processing applied to measurements with particular concern to the metrology characterization of the measurement systems based on complex algorithms. In this field, she has proposed an innovative approach to the expression and estimation of uncertainty in measurement framed within the mathematical theory of evidence, a more general theory than the probability theory. This approach considers the method followed by the IEC-ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement as a particular case and is aimed at overcoming the theoretical and practical limitations of the Guide, thanks to the more general mathematical environment in which the concept of measurement uncertainty is considered. The new proposed approach has been applied in different field: mechanics, electrical, biomedical. Her principal research interests are hence concerned with the analysis of advanced mathematical methods for uncertainty representation and estimation.
Her research activity is reflected in the over 130 papers published in international and national scientific journals, in the proceedings of national and international conferences in the field of instrumentation and measurements, and in two monographs, edited by Springer: “Measurement Uncertainty. An approach via the mathematical theory of evidence” (2007) and “Measuring Uncertainty within the Theory of Evidence” (2018).
Simona Salicone serves as a reviewer for the following journals, publishers and conferences: the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement; the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery; the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement magazine; the International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems; Elsevier publisher; Springer publisher; Hindawi publisher; the IEEE I2MTC conferences; the MeMeA conferences; the IEEE AMPS conferences.
Simona Salicone is member of: IEEE; IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society; GMEE (the Italian group of electric and electronic measurements).
In 2004 she has received, by the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society, in recognition of contributions made to measurement uncertainty theory, the 2004 Outstanding Young Engineer Award. In 2007, Simona Salicone is elected, by the Officers and Board of Directors of the IEEE, to the grade of IEEE Senior Member. In years 2013 to 2017, Simona Salicone has been part of the Academic Board of the PhD in Electrical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. Since 2014 until the end of 2016, she has been part of the Editorial Board of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Magazine, as the responsible of the column “Future Trends in Instrumentation & Measurements”. Since January 2016 until the end of 2017, Simona Salicone has been the Associate Editor in Chief of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Magazine. In 2016 Simona Salicone has received, in appreciation of outstanding service to IEEE Transaction on Instrumentation and Measurement, the recognition as one of the Transactions Outstanding Reviewers of 2015, by the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society. Simona Salicone is the winner of the 2016 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Faculty Course Development Award.
In 2019, her monograph “Measuring Uncertainty within the Theory of Evidence” was among the top 25% most downloaded eBooks in its respective eBook Collection. In 2020, Simona Salicone has been recognized as a Top 70 Most Published Author of All Time by the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society – Transaction on Instrumentation and Measurement.
Since 2019, Simona is part of the Selection Committee of the IEEE Faculty Course Development Award. Since 2021, she has been part of the Editorial Board of the MDPI Metrology journal.
