Salvatore D'Oro joined Northeastern University (Boston, MA) in 2017 where now he is a research assistant professor with the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things (W-IoT). He received the B.S. degree in Computer Engineering and the M.S. degree in Telecommunications Engineering degree both from the University of Catania (Catania, Italy) in 2011 and 2012, respectively. He received the PhD degree from the University of Catania in 2015, where, in 2016 worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Sergio Palazzo. In 2013 and 2015, he was a Visiting Researcher at Université Paris-Sud 11 (Paris, France) and at Ohio State University (Ohio, USA). He serves in the Technical Program Committee (TPC) of several international journals and conferences such as Elsevier Computer Communications and IEEE INFOCOM. His research interests focus on network slicing and virtualization techniques for 5G systems and beyond, physical layer security, artificial intelligence and machine learining for networking applications.
