Short biography

I was born in Milan (Italy) on April 12th, 1974. I received the Laurea degree (BS, MS) in Telecommunication Engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Padova (Italy) in 1998. In February 2002 I received the Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from the University of Brescia, Italy. Since March 2005 I am a Permanent Resercher in Computer Networks at the University of Brescia.

My research interests include techniques and methods for the simulation of packet networks and the evaluation of their performances, development of QoS enabled algorithms for Medium Access Control and statistical analysis of network traffic.
