Salvatore Livatino is Professor of Immersive Systems at the University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. MSc in Computer Science from University of Pisa, Italy ('93), PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from Aalborg University, Denmark ('03). He was researcher at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa ('93-'97), University of Leeds, UK ('95), INRIA Grenoble, France ('96), University of Edinburgh, UK ('01). He worked 12 years at Aalborg University, Denmark, first as Research Fellow, then Assistant and Associate Professor.

Salvatore Livatino is the Head of the Communications and Intelligent Systems Research Group, and Leader of the Virtual Reality and Robotics Laboratory. His research focuses on: (a) the assessment of extended reality (XR) user-interface solutions for tele-exploration, tele-mentoring, and teleoperation, with emphasis on action monitoring and decision-making; and (b) the development of immersive technologies, with particular focus on image-based virtual reality, three-dimensional and true-dimensional visualization, and AI-enhanced XR. He has authored numerous journal and conference papers and has contributed to several European projects and UK-funded research initiatives. His teaching experience includes problem-based learning and multidisciplinary education.
