Alice Plutino
I am an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Media Studies of the University of Amsterdam and PhD in Computer Science (Università degli studi di Università degli Studi di Milano, 2021). My research interests are Color Science, Image Enhancement, Digitization, and Archiving, with a particular interest in Cultural Heritage applications. I am the author of the book "Tecniche di Restauro Cinematografico" and of several journal and conference papers of national and international relevance. I am an Adjunct Professor at Università degli Studi di Milano and Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, teaching digital film restoration and digital media conservation. I am vice-president of the Italian color group (Gruppo del Colore), deputy editor of the Color Culture and Science Journal (CCSJ), vice-coordinator of Division 1, and coordinator of Division 8 of NC CIE Italy.

Download my CV:
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
