Welcome to my personal web page.
I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano (Italy), and a Fulbright Fellow at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, University of Texas at Dallas, (USA).
My research focuses on the intersection of machine learning, artificial intelligence and next-generation communication networks, with particular emphasis on Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), network automation, and intelligent resource management for 5G/6G and beyond systems.
I am actively involved in differet national and international research projects and collaborations, and I work closely with students and researchers on topics related to network softwarization, edge intelligence, and AI-driven networking.
On this website you can find information about my research activities, publications, teaching, and opportunities for students (including Master Thesis projects).
Feel free to get in touch if you are interested in collaborating or joining our research activities.
