Short Bio

I received the Laurea and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in 2004 and 2008, respectively. From 2004 to 2009, I was with the Department of Computer Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, where I was involved in research on speech recognition and, in particular, have been active in classification methods and algorithms. Since 2009, I have been with the National Research Council of Italy, where I'm currently a tenured Researcher with the Institute of Electronics, Computer and Telecommunication Engineering (CNR-IEIIT), Turin.

I'm teaching several courses on computer science at Politecnico di Torino. I have authored and co-authored more than 60 papers in international journals and conferences, in the areas of industrial communication systems, real-time networks, wireless networks, and clock synchronization protocols. I served as the TCP Co-Chair of the 2019 edition of the International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks and Wireless and as the Work-in-Progress Co-Chair of the 2018 edition of the IEEE International Workshop on Factory Communication Systems.

I received the 2017 Best Paper Award of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS and the Best Paper Awards for three papers presented at the IEEE Workshops on Factory Communication Systems in 2010, 2017 and 2019, and for a paper presented at the IEEE International Conference on Factory Communication Systems in 2020.

I'm an Associate Editor of the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) and of the IEEE Access journals.
