Prof. Nicolò Michelusi

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University, USA. I received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2013, and I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Southern California from 2013 to 2015. I was an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, USA, from 2016 to 2020. I am a Senior Member of IEEE. I served as Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications from 2016 to 2021, and I am currently serving as Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Communications (since January 2023). I received the NSF CAREER award in 2021, and the 2022 Early Achievement Award of the Communication Theory Technical Committee (CTTC, part fo the IEEE Communications Society).

My research focuses on the design and analysis of distributed wirelessly connected systems using methods from stochastic optimization and machine learning.

(MSc Spring ’29, Ph.D., 2020-2024): I’m currently pursuing my graduate research thesis on the incorporation of Game Theory and Artifical Intelligence in the design and operation of Cognitive Radio networks. My research interests include Communication system design, SDN/NFV, and the application of Reinforcement Learning, Supervised & Unsupervised Learning, and Game Theoretic heuristics in communication networks. After my undergraduate degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering, I worked as a Senior Engineer at Nokia Digital Operations R&D specializing in SDN/NFV, Computer Networking, Protocol development, System Architecture, and Application design. Prior to this, I was a Networking Intern at Ericsson working on WCDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA, and LTE network optimization. Besides research, my other interests include geopolitics, film-making, basketball, and soccer.
