Pierluigi Salvo Rossi was born in Naples, Italy, on April 26, 1977.

He received the Dr.Eng. degree in telecommunications engineering (summa cum laude) and the Ph.D. degree in computer engineering in 2002 and 2005, respectively, both from the University of Naples “Federico II”, Italy.

From 2005 to 2008, he worked as a postdoc at the Department of Computer Science and Systems, University of Naples “Federico II”, Italy, at the Department of Information Engineering, Second University of Naples, Italy, and at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway. From 2008 to 2014, he was an assistant professor (tenured in 2011) in telecommunications with the Department of Industrial and Information Engineering, Second University of Naples, Italy. From 2014 to 2016, he was an associate professor in signal processing with the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, NTNU, Norway. From 2016 to 2017, he was a full professor in signal processing with the Department of Electronic Systems, NTNU, Norway. From 2017 to 2019, he was a principal engineer with the Department of Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning, Kongsberg Digital AS, Norway.

Since 2019 he is a full professor in statistical machine learning with the Department of Electronic Systems, NTNU, Norway and also head of the Signal Processing Group.

He held visiting appointments at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, US, at the Department of Electrical and Information Technology, Lund University, Sweden, at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, NTNU, Norway, and at the Excellence Center for Wireless Sensor Networks, Uppsala University, Sweden.
