From 1992 to 1996, he carried out research at the Department of Electrical Systems of the European Space Research and Technology Centre of the European Space Agency based in Noordwijk, Holland. From 1996 to 2004, he was a researcher for the National Research Council at the Centre for Radio Transmission in Pisa. Since 2004, he has been a professor of Electronics at the Department of Information Engineering, first an associate professor and then a full professor.

Institutional roles

Since 2011, Professor Fanucci has collaborated with the Unit for the Support and Integration of Students with Disabilities at the University of Pisa. Since 2016, he has been the Rector’s delegate for students with disabilities and LD. He has been a member of the Teaching Board for the doctorate course in Computer Engineering of the University of Pisa since 2007 and he has been the director of the National Laboratory AsTech (Assistive Technologies) of the National Inter University Consortium for Information Technology (CINI) since 2013.

Scientific and teaching activities

Professor Fanucci is head of teaching for the Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering and in Embedded Computing Engineering. His main research interests lie in the field of design technologies for integrated circuits and embedded systems, with particular emphasis on system-level design, hardware and software co-design, low power consumption and interface sensor processing systems. The main application areas are telecommunications, earth and space vehicles, medical systems and technological aids for disabled and elderly people. He is co-author of over 400 international journal and conference papers and co-inventor of more than 40 national and international patents or patents pending.
He has been the principal investigator for numerous regional and National projects financed on a competitive basis by the Tuscan Region, the Ministry for Research and Education, the National Research Council and the National Institute of Nuclear Physics. He was also the head scientist in numerous European Union projects on research and development platforms such as FP6, FP7, AAL, ARTEMISIA, ENIAC and H2020. He represents the Department of Information Engineering in the AAATE (Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technologies in Europe) and in the European initiatives EUROPRACTICE and ARTEMISIA (Advanced Research & Technology for EMbedded Intelligence and Systems Industry Association).
He has served on numerous technical committees at international conferences in the field of electronic system design. In particular, he was Program Chair of the DSD 2008 and DATE 2014 international conferences and General Chair of the DATE 2016 conference. He is the Associate Editor of the Elsevier Microprocessors and Microsystems (Embedded Hardware Design) journal, the IOS Press Technology and Disability journal and the IET Computers & Digital Techniques journal.
