Alfonso Farina of Leonardo S.p.A.
Towards Mature AI-driven Sensing – Aspects from a Realization Perspective
Biography:
Alfonso Farina received the Laurea degree in electronic engineering from the University of Rome, Rome, Italy, in 1973. In 1974, he joined SELENIA S.P.A., then Selex ES, where he became the Director of the Analysis of Integrated Systems Unit and, subsequently, the Director of Engineering of the Large Business Systems Division. In 2012, he was the Senior VP and the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Company, reporting directly to the President. From 2013 to 2014, he was a Senior Advisor to the CTO. He retired in October 2014. Currently he is President of the Radar & Sensors Academy of Leonardo S.p.A. Electronic Division, Italy.

A recent (end of 2021) interview to him was published on the Leonardo home page: The future of radar: the evolution of a technology with a long history - We talk with Alfonso Farina, one of the fathers of modern radar. From 1979 to 1985, he was also a Professor of Radar Techniques with the University of Naples, Italy. He is currently a Visiting Professor with the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London and with the Centre of Electronic Warfare, Information and Cyber at Cranfield University, a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society. He is the author of about 1000 publications. He has won the Fred Nathanson Memorial Radar award (1987), the IEEE Dennis J. Picard Medal for Radar Technologies and Applications (2010), the IET Achievement Medal (2014), C. Hülsmeyer Award, German Institute Navigation (2019) and the IEEE AESS Pioneer Award (2020). Alfonso is LFIEEE, FIET, Fellow of The Royal Academy of Engineering (UK), F-EURASIP, European Academy Science, Académico Correspondiente Real Academia de Ingeniería de España. In February 2023, he has been elected as an International Member of the United States National Academy of Engineering (NAE), “for contributions to the development and deployment of advanced radar systems and technology”. He is ranked in the list of 2% top scientists in the World. More details on Alfonso CV are available at the following links:
