Alessio De Angelis

About

Alessio De Angelis is a leading researcher in the field of indoor positioning and human motion tracking, with a focus on developing innovative systems that operate without reliance on GPS. His work centers on two core technologies: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and magnetic positioning. De Angelis has made major contributions by designing and characterizing systems for relative localization in wireless networks, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2023 paper on UWB localization (41 citations). He has also pioneered wearable, wirelessly powered systems for finger tracking (34 citations), significantly advancing human-computer interaction. A key achievement is his application of magnetic sensing to healthcare, where he developed real-time systems for monitoring Parkinson’s disease patients, enabling tremor detection and trajectory estimation. His work on fusing UWB and magnetic ranging for robust positioning (17 citations) addresses critical challenges in challenging environments. With over 176 total citations across his top papers, De Angelis’s research is notable for its practical impact, including the development of multi-node magnetic positioning systems and the use of robotic arms for calibration. His contributions are essential for advancing robotics, healthcare monitoring, and indoor navigation.
