Giovanni Geraci

Welcome to my webpage!

I work at the intersection of AI/ML and wireless communications, with experience across standards, industrial R&D, and academia, including management of software development and research teams.

My expertise spans cellular (3GPP 5G/6G) and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11be/bn/bx) technologies. Current areas of focus include AI-native RAN, digital twins, Wi-Fi 9, and agentic AI for the telecom domain.

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.
