I am an Assistant Professor in Telecommunications at the University of Calabria working within the Department of Computer Engineering, Modeling, Electronics and Systems (DIMES).

In 2005 I have been visiting researcher at CCSR (Centre forCommunication Systems Research) University of Surrey - Guildford - UK, working on Cost and Demand Sensitive models for evaluation of SDMB (Satellite DigitalMultimedia Broadcast) service over integrated satellite-terrestrial UMTS networks.

In 2006 I have been visiting researcher at Broadband and Wireless Networking Laboratory - Georgia Institute of Technology - Atlanta-USA, working on adaptive and responsive transport protocols for Wireless MeshNetworks. 

In the last few years, I have been involved in several national and international research projects and I authored many international publications including journals, conferences and book chapters on wireless and mobile systems, protocols, modeling and simulation.

My main research interests include:

• Edge and Cloud mobile architectures to support emerging applications

• Internet of Mobile Things: aerial and terrestrial drones coordination and cooperation

• Smartphone-centric systems for data collecting, managing and monitoring

• IoT technologies for Smart Cities and industrial contexts

• IoT Interoperability issues
