Biography

Dr. Domenico Giustiniano is Research Associate Professor (tenured) at IMDEA Networks Institute and leader of the Pervasive Wireless System Group. Before joining IMDEA, he was a Senior Researcher and Lecturer at ETH Zurich. He also worked for a total of four years as Post-Doctoral Researcher in industrial research labs (Disney Research Zurich and Telefonica Research Barcelona). He holds a PhD in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Rome Tor Vergata (2008).

The original contributions Dr. Giustiniano has made to his field of research are exemplified by publications in international and highly competitive conference venues such as ACM MobiCom (4), ACM Mobisys (2), ACM CoNEXT (9), ACM Mobihoc, IEEE INFOCOM (6), ACM/IEEE IPSN (5), IEEE ICNP, and journals such as IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (3), IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (4) and IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. He has been General Vice-Chair of ACM Mobicom 2023, General Chair of EWSN 2018 and of IFIP/IEEE SustainIT 2015, and regularly serves as TPC member in top conferences. He has been the project coordinator of the H2020 European Training Network ENLIGHT’EM on low-energy Visible Light Communication for IoT (2019-2023). He is senior member of IEEE and ACM societies.

Domenico Giustiniano holds an Executive Education from IE Business School on Management Fundamentals and Skills for Scientists and Researchers (2021) and is co-founder and board member of Sensory-Fi Ltd (LiFi4Food product), a startup providing IoT solutions for precision agriculture; co-founder and leader of the OpenVLC project, an open-source platform for research in visible light communication networks; and co-founder and board member of the non-profit Electrosense association, a crowd-sourcing initiative for spectrum data analytics.
