Welcome to my webpage!
I specialize in applying AI/ML to wireless communications, focusing on radio channel modeling, data-driven system-level simulation, and RAN optimization. With expertise in both cellular (3GPP 5G/6G) and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11be/bn) technologies, my R&D experience spans a telecom vendor, a mobile operator, and academia.
*Innovation & Leadership*
— Leading next-gen mobile radio projects at Telefónica Research, focused on AI/ML RAN modeling and optimization.
— Ex Nokia Bell Labs, holding 10+ patents on wireless multi-antenna solutions.
— 100+ scientific publications, with two selected among IEEE ComSoc Best Readings and two IEEE Best Paper Awards.
— IEEE Communications Theory Early Achievement Award (2023) and IEEE ComSoc EMEA Outstanding Young Researcher Award (2018).
*Academia & Lecturing*
— Tenured Professor and former Head of Telecommunications Engineering.
— IEEE Distinguished Lecturer, 100+ keynotes and lectures worldwide.
— Developing and teaching new course "Fundamentals of Wi-Fi" for the IEEE.
— Teaching Signals and Systems; students describe my teaching as "fantastic, passionate, and supportive".
*About Me*
Born and raised in Sicily, I have lived across six continents for work, love, and adventure. I feel lucky every day and would probably do this job for free.
