I am an experienced researcher with over 13 years of R&D experience and more than 7 years in team leadership and management, working at the intersection of resilient, distributed intelligence and complex systems. My work spans industrial platforms, IoT and UAV networks, healthcare systems, and digital transformation architectures, with a strong grounding in both hardware prototyping and software engineering. I specialize in designing modular, adaptive architectures that tackle the persistence of information silos, enabling real-time coordination, interoperability, and organisational process optimisation.

My approach combines distributed edge computing, digital twin platforms, and low-cost sensing to support scalable digitalisation—especially in resource-constrained or high-uncertainty environments. I’m particularly interested in translating system-level insights across domains to build platforms that are not only smarter but also resilient, inclusive, and future-ready.

Over the years, I have authored 70+ peer-reviewed publications, delivered multiple keynotes, and co-authored two textbooks on IoT and Industrial IoT. My work has attracted over 1,400 citations (h-index: 22, i10-index: 37), and I was recognized in Elsevier’s Top 2% Scientists (2024)—ranked globally in both Networking & Telecommunications and Mechanical and Transport domains.

As the Founder and Organizing Chair of the LoDiSA workshop series, I initiated a global scientific forum on low-cost digital solutions for industrial automation, now attracting researchers across 8+ countries. I have led the setup of 7 academic laboratories, co-developed 2 national MOOCs, supervised students at all levels, and taught across 8+ subjects.
