Northeastern University Wireless Networks and Embedded Systems Lab






Biography

I'm a post-doc researcher at Northeastern University, working on wireless networks and machine learning. I served as a research and development engineer at Mindmaze working on embedded systems and signal processing on networks. Previously, I had been a post-doc researcher at the University of Trento, Italy, where I got my PhD. degree in Computer Science. My research interests are in the area of computer networks, content distribution and graph theory. My expertise includes the development of communication simulators, systems and innovative algorithms to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of content distribution.
