Short Bio

Gennaro Cordasco has received the Laurea degree (cum laude) in "Informatica" (Computer Science) from University of Salerno (Italy) in 2002 discussing a thesis in Distributed algorithms whose title is: "Un algoritmo di mapping ottimale per alberi binari completi su memorie parallele" ("An optimal mapping algorithm for complete binary trees to parallel memories"). The thesis was supervised by Prof. Alberto Negro and Prof. Vittorio Scarano.

From 2002 to 2006, he attended the PhD Program in Computer Science at Dipartimento di Informatica ed Applicazioni at the University of Salerno (ITALY) (Advisor: Prof. Alberto Negro).

From March 2005 to November 2005 he has been Research-Scholar at the TAPADS (Theoretical Aspect of Parallel and Distributed Systems) Lab, Department of Computer Science, University of Massachusettes at Amherst MA, USA, doing research activity under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Arnold L. Rosenberg.

He has received the PhD degree on April 2006, discussing a thesis on Peer to Peer Systems whose title is: "On Designing Overlay Networks for Peer to Peer Systems". The thesis was supervised by Prof. Alberto Negro.

From May 2006 to March 2011, he has been Post-Doctoral fellow (Assegnista di Ricerca) at the Dipartimento di Informatica of the University of Salerno, cooperating in the research activity of the ISISLab laboratory. 

From March 2011 to December 2020, he has been Assistant Professor (Ricercatore) at the Dipartimento di Psicologia of the Università degli studi della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" (Italy).

Currently,  he is Associate Professor at the Dipartimento di Psicologia of the Università degli studi della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" (Italy) and an Affiliate of the International Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies, Vietri sul Mare, Italy.

His research interests focus on Distributed Algorithms, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Systems, Small World Networks and Internet-based Computing, Information diffusion in Networks, Agent based simulations and optimization, Handwriting analysis, Emotion recognition.
