Northeastern University Wireless Networks and Embedded Systems Lab








Biography

Stefano is a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things at Northeastern University, under Prof. Tommaso Melodia. He received a Bachelor's degree in Engineering of Computing Systems in 2020 and a Master of Science degree in Telecommunication Engineering with final score 110/110 in July 2023 from Politecnico di Milano, Italy. From September 2022 to June 2023, he worked on his master thesis at Northeastern University together with the Wireless Networks and Embedded Systems Laboratory (WiNES Lab), under the supervision of Prof. Antonio Capone at Politecnico di Milano and Prof. Tommaso Melodia at Northeastern University. He is interested in the application of artificial intelligence to the field of networks, specifically linked with O-RAN in 5G/6G networks.
