Giordano Bruno Beretta is with the Digital Printing & Imaging Laboratory at Hewlett-Packard. He did his graduate work in computational geometry at ETH, before joining Xerox PARC in 1984 to work on color reproduction. After a stint in strategic planning and becoming the Technical Advisor for Color at Canon, he joined HP, where he is a member of the computational color research project. He is a member of the ISCC and fellow of the IS&T and the SPIE.
Giordano Bruno Beretta has contributed to numerical mathematics, human-computer interaction, computational geometry, design automation tools, color science, and image communication & encoding. He has successfully spearheaded the routine use of colorimetry at Xerox, Canon, and Hewlett-Packard. Other than research and troubleshooting, he has also worked in strategic planning and intellectual property management; he has lectured on color science, color facsimile technology and on digital publishing. He is currently a technical worker in the Digital Printing & Imaging Laboratory at Hewlett-Packard.
Giordano studied mathematics, physics, and computer science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, where he obtained a diploma in mathematics and a doctorate in computer science. He has attended several industrial courses at RIT's Munsell Color Science Lab. He holds a dozen patents related to color imaging technology.
Giordano Bruno Beretta is a technical worker in the Digital Printing & Imaging Laboratory at Hewlett-Packard. He did his graduate work in computational geometry at ETH, before joining Xerox PARC in 1984. At Xerox he has worked on color reproduction and printing, implemented color and imaging standards, and invented color design tools. After working in strategic planning and intellectual property management, and becoming the Technical Advisor for Color at Canon, he joined HP, where he was one of the implementors of a color facsimile machine and the digital sender; he is currently working on computational color research. He was co-chair of the Electronic Imaging 2000, 2004 Symposia, 1997-1999 EI Color Imaging Conferences, and 2000-2002 EI Internet Imaging Conferences.
Giordano Bruno Beretta received his doctorate in computer science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, in 1984 and joined Xerox PARC that year. For his pioneering work in color imaging he received the 1989 Xerox Corporate Research Group Achievement Award. In 1990 he moved on to Canon, where as a Senior Scientist he was involved mainly in strategic planning and intellectual property management, while exercising his technical skills as the Technical Advisor for Color. Since 1994 he is with the Digital Printing & Imaging Laboratory at Hewlett-Packard. A strong believer in the social role of synergies and emergent properties, he is a tireless promoter of young scientists and engineers, helping them in their first professional steps; he also teaches short courses and organizes conferences, earning an IS&T Service Award in 1998 and IS&T Senior Membership in 2000. His skills as a speculative designer have translated into a number of patents and articles. He is a member of AAAS, IS&T, ISCC, SMS, and SPIE.

Since 1994 he is with the Digital Printing & Imaging Laboratory at Hewlett-Packard, where he contributed to the color fax and digital sender products and currently works on computational color research and write's HP's color blog.
His skills as a speculative designer have translated into a number of patents and articles in numerical mathematics, human-computer interaction, computational geometry, design automation tools, color science,image communication & encoding, and quantum imaging. He has been a thought leader in developing a common understanding of the Internet's impact on publishing. This has resulted in the consensus that electronic publishing has been replaced by digital publishing. More recently, at EI 2001, with Neil Gunther he has been instrumental in developing a benchmarking methodology for contents based image retrieval (CBIR) algorithms over the Internet. In collaboration with Robert Buckley, he has been teaching successful short courses on Color Imaging on the Internet IS&T and SPIE conferences. He has given numerous presentations in Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland, and the USA.
A strong believer in the social role of synergies and emergent properties, he is a tireless promoter of young scientists and engineers, helping them in their first professional steps. He has organized successful sessions on color science (NIP in Yokohama and Hilton Head), conferences on color & Internet imaging (EI in San Jose and Europto in Zurich, with Jan Bares, Reiner Eschbach and Raimondo Schettini), and with John McCann co-chaired the EI 2000 symposium, organized the EI 2001 symposium. He is a member of AAAS, IS&T, ISCC, SMS, SPIE, and recipient of the IS&T Service Award in 1998, IS&T Senior Membership Award in 2000, IS&T Fellowship in 2001 and SPIE Fellowship in 2002.
