Highlights
I was awarded the prize "Sapienza Ricerca 2010" for my research on autonomous deployment of mobile sensors. This prize is awarded to the best works all disciplinary areas carried out by researchers of Sapienza University of Rome.
I recently won the Best Paper Award at the prestigious 17-th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP).
I am currently in the Editorial Board of the journal Wireless Networks, which is a premier journal in my area of research. Previously I was in the Editorial Board of the journal Computer Networks. I am co-Editor in Chief of the upcoming journal ICST Transactions on Real World Web. I am guest editor of the journal ACM Mobile Networks for the special issue on "Heterogeneous Networks".
I am the leader of the research unit of Sapienza University of Rome of the Prin Project “Autonomic Security”. I am work package leader of the EU project GENESI.
I was General Chair of the conference QShine 2009. I was Program Chair of workshops IEEE AAA-IDEA 2005, ACM AAA-IDEA 2006. I am in the steering committee of ICST AAA-IDEA 2009.
My papers have been published by some of the most important conferences and journals in the area of computer networks: IEEE ICNP, IEEE IWQoS, IEEE INFOCOM, ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, ACM/Springer Wireless Networks, Springer Computer Networks, and ACM/Springer Mobile Networks.
I advised more than thirty thesis at the B.Sc. and M.Sc. level, and a Ph.D. thesis. I am currently advisor of a Post Doc student.
