About
F. Giannini is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, sensor technology, and digital musical expression. His most cited work, "A data glove based sensor interface to expressively control musical processes" (2011, 28 citations), pioneered the use of flexible sensor arrays for real-time, gesture-driven musical control. Giannini demonstrated how deformable sensors—capable of detecting vibrations, pressure, displacement, and motion—could be repurposed from robotics and assistive technology to create intuitive, expressive musical interfaces. This foundational contribution opened new pathways for performers and composers to shape sound through natural hand movements, bridging the gap between physical gesture and digital audio. Beyond music, his research has influenced wearable computing and rehabilitation technologies, where flexible sensors enable subtle, continuous interaction. Giannini’s work is notable for its practical, interdisciplinary approach: he not only advances sensor design but also develops complete system architectures that prioritize expressiveness and user agency. With a growing citation footprint, his research continues to inspire new generations of engineers and artists seeking to embed responsive, human-centered sensing into creative and assistive applications.
