Davide Rocchesso - Committee Chair

Davide Rocchesso received the Laurea in Ingegneria Elettronica degree from the University of Padova, Italy in 1992, and the Ph.D. degree from the same university in 1996. In 1994 and 1995 he was visiting scholar at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University. Since 1991 he has been collaborating with the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale (CSC) at the University of Padova as a researcher and live-electronics designer. Between 1998 and 2006 he was with the Computer Science Department at the University of Verona, Italy, as an Assistant and Associate Professor. Since 2006 he has been with the Department of Art and Industrial Design of the IUAV University of Venice, as Associate Professor. He has been teaching several classes in the areas of sound processing, operating systems, computer graphics, interaction design, and programming.

Davide Rocchesso has been President of the Associazione di Informatica Musicale Italiana (AIMI - Italian computer music association) and he is currently member of the AIMI board. He collaborated with composers for music productions and with companies for the design of digital musical instruments and for sonification projects. He has been the coordinator of project IST 2000-25287 (SOb - the Sounding Object) and local coordinator of the project NEST 29085 (CLOSED - Closing the Loop Of Sound Evaluation and Design) and of the Coordination Action IST-FET 2004-03773 (S2S^2 - Sound-to-Sense; Sense-to-Sound). He is currently chairing the COST Action IC-0601 (SID - Sonic Interaction Design). He organized the International Conference on Digital Audio Effects in the year 2000.

Davide Rocchesso authored or co-authored over one hundred publications in scientific journals, books, and conferences. His main research interests are sound modelling for interaction design, sound synthesis by physical modelling, and design and evaluation of interactions.
