Biography

Paolo Testolina received the B.Sc. in Information Engineering in 2016 and the M.Sc. with Honors in Telecommunication Engineering in 2018 from the University of Padova. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. in Information Engineering at the same university. His research focuses mainly on mmWave networks, from channel modeling to link layer simulation, traffic modeling, and vehicular networks.

Research Interests

5G/6G wireless networks
Spectrum sharing and active/passive user coexistence
mmWave and terahertz mobile networks
Vehicular networks for autonomous driving
