Biography

I received the Laurea degree (cum laude) in telecommunications engineer and the Ph.D. degree in information engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Since 2005, I have been with the “Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Informazione”, University of Pisa. In 2004, I was a visiting Ph.D. Student with the German Aerospace Center, Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. From 2007 to 2008, I was a Post-Doctoral Associate with the Department Electrical Engineering, Princeton. In 2010, I was selected for a Research Assistantship with the Technische Universitat Munchen. From 2013 to 2017, I was with the Large Systems and Networks Group, CentraleSupélec, Gif-sur-Yvette, France.

I’m the general chair of SPAWC 2024 (Lucca, June 2024), and also the executive co-chair of ICC 2023 (Rome, May 2023). I served as the Exhibit Chair of the 2014 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing and as the General Co-Chair of the 2016 Tyrrhenian Workshop on 5G&Beyond. I also served as a Technical Co-Chair of European Wireless 2018, and as Special Session Chair of ISWCS18, Exhibit Chair of ICASSP2014 and as the General Co-Chair of the 2016 Tyrrhenian Workshop on 5G&Beyond.

I received the 2018 and 2022 Marconi Prize Paper Awards in Wireless Communications, the 2023 IEEE Communications Society Outstanding Paper Award and co-authored a paper that received the young best paper award from the ComSoc/VTS Italy Section. I was a co-recipient of two best paper awards: the IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) 2013 and the IEEE WCNC 2014. I was also a recipient of the FP7Marie Curie IEF 2013 DENSE4GREEN (Dense deployments for green cellular networks).
