Biography

Claudio is a postdoctoral researcher at IMDEA Networks Institute, Madrid, Spain. He joined the Wireless Networking Group in December 2016 after having obtained his Ph.D. degree at the University of Luxembourg in the same year. He obtained both B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, he was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY, US in 2016 and a José Castillejo/Fulbright visiting researcher at Northeastern University, Boston, MA, US in 2022. Claudio has been awarded with the Spanish Juan de la Cierva grants (Formación and Incorporación), the Best Paper Awards in IEEE Cloudnet 2016, in ACM WiNTECH 2018, IEEE GLOBECOM 2019 and the Best Student Paper Award at IEEE NFV-SDN 2022. He is member of IEEE and ACM, serves in the Technical Program Committee (TPC) of several international conferences and regularly participates in the organization of events (i.e., he serves as TPC Co-Chair at IEEE ICC 2023 and has hold the same role in IEEE CAMAD 2019 and 2021). Claudio is member of the Editorial Board team of IEEE Networking Letters and is the Chair of the IEEE ComSoc EMEA Awards Committee. His primary research interests include explainable and robust AI applied to mobile network optimization, multi-access edge/fog computing, and mobile crowdsensing.
