MATLAB for Chemometricians: Volume 33

Dr. Federico Marini is currently associate professor of Chemometrics at Sapienza University of Rome. In 2006, he was awarded the Young Researcher Prize from the Italian Chemical Society and in 2012 he won the Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems Award. His research activity focuses on chemometrics, ranging from the application of existing methods to real world problems to the design and development of novel algorithms. He is author of more than 150 papers in international journals and book chapters, and recently he edited and coauthored the book Chemometrics in Food Chemistry (Elsevier). He is member of the Editorial boards of several journals, and he serves as Associate Editor for Chemometrics in Wiley's Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry. He is the past-coordinator of the Chemometric group of the Italian Chemical Society and a member of the Chemometric study group of EUCheMS. Dr. Alessandra Biancolillo attained her PhD Degree in Spectroscopy and Chemometrics by the University of Copenhagen (KU) working on a joint project between the Norwegian Institute for Food and Fishery (NOFIMA) and KU. After this, she has been a post-doc researcher at the University of Rome "La Sapienza?, at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart School of Medicine (Rome, Italy) and an ingenieurs de recherche (post-doc researcher) at the IRSTEA institute in Montpellier (France). Since 2019, she is researcher at the University of L'Aquila (Italy). Her main research topics are multi-block analysis, classification method development and feature selection. Jose Manuel Amigo is a Research Professor at IKERBASQUE, the Basque Foundation for Sciences in Bilbao and a Distinguished Professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry, University of Basque Country, Spain. He obtained his PhD (Cum Laude) in Chemistry from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. He was employed as a post-doctoral student (2007 - 2009) and an Associate Professor (2010 - 2019) at the Department of Food Science of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2017, he was at the same time a guest Professor at the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil. Current research interests include hyperspectral and digital image analysis and the application of Chemometrics (i.e. Machine and Deep Learning). He has authored over 180 publications (150+ peer-reviewed papers, books, book chapters, proceedings, etc.) and has given more than 60 conferences and courses at international meetings. Jose has supervised or is currently supervising several MSc, PhD and Post Docs, and he is an editorial board member of four scientific journals within chemometrics. Moreover, he received the "2014 Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems Award? for his achievements in the field of Chemometrics and the "2019 Tomas Hirschfeld Award? for his achievements in the field of Near Infrared.
