Short Biography

Giovanna Castellano got her Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Bari, Italy, in 2001. From 2002 to 2015 she was Assistant professor at the Computer Science Department of the University of Bari, where she is currently Associate professor in Computer Science. She is the coordinator of the CILAB (Computational Intelligence Lab) at the Computer Science Department of the University of Bari. 

Her research interests are in the area of Computational Intelligence and include Fuzzy systems, Fuzzy Image Processing, Fuzzy clustering, Image processing and retrieval, Neural Networks, Neuro-fuzzy modeling, Granular Computing, Recommender systems. 

She is the co-author of more than 180 refereed international journal and conference papers covering the above topics. 

Giovanna Castellano is the co-author of the Springer book "Fuzzy Logic for Image Processing: a Gentle Introduction using Java" published in 2017, and co-editor of the Springer book “Web Personalization in Intelligent Environments” published in 2009. She is Associate Editor of the following journals: Information Sciences (Elsevier), Evolving Systems (Springer), International Journal of Intelligent Systems (Wiley), International Journal of Systems, Control and Communications (InderScience) and International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems (IOSPress). She is member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Knowledge and Web Intelligence and the Intelligent Decision Technology: An International Journal. She was guest editor of the special issue "Fuzzy Logic for Image Processing" in the journal Information (2017). She is guest editor of the special issue "Computational Intelligence in Healthcare" in the journal Electronics (2019-2020).

She acts as a reviewer for several international scientific journals published by high-rank publishers (Elsevier, IEEE, Springer) and for international conferences in the field of Computational IntelligenceShe is in the Program Committee of several refereed conferences, the more recent being IJCAI (2020-2019), KES-IDT2019, ICANN(2018-2017), IJCCI2017, WILF(2018-2016), FCTA (2020-2016). 

Giovanna Castellano is currently member of the IEEE Computational Intelligence society, the EUSFLAT society and the INDAM-GNCS society. She is member of the IEEE CIS Task Force on Explainable Fuzzy Systems.
