Who I am

GRAINS
Short Bio
I was born in Torino, Italy, in 1955 and received my Dr. Eng. Degree in Electronic Engineering in 1980 from Politecnico di Torino. From 1981 to 1983 I worked at the Computer Engineering Department of the same Institute, in the research fields of parallel processing and local area networks for industrial applications. Hence I received my Ph.D degree in Information and Systems Engineering in 1987.
From 1990 to 1994 I served as a professor assistant, while since 1994 as a full professor, at the Computer Engineering Department of Politecnico di Torino. 
My teaching dues include graduate-level courses on "computer networks" and "innovation management and product development".
From 2003 to 2012 I was Deputy Dean of the Industrial Engineering and Management Faculty and Deputy Chancellor (special projects) of the Politecnico di Torino, while from 2015 to 2019 I was in charge as a member of the Academic Senate and Head of the Department of Computer Engineering. From 2016 to 2019, I was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Education Foundation - Compagnia di San Paolo.
My main interests are: distributed systems, computer networks, communication protocols, field bus networks, formal description techniques, software engineering, product life cycle and innovation management.
I have been principal investigator in national and international research projects dealing with software applications, computer networks and industrial systems. 
I also served  as a counsellor for the Education Ministry to reform the national High School System and adapt Higher Education according to the European recommendations.
I have been for several years a member of the administration councils of the Mario Boella Reasearch Institute and INVALSI, the national body deputed to school system assessment.
I was also Chair of IEEE-CS COMPSAC 2017 - together with Tom Conte -, the IEEE-CS flagship conference held in Torino at Politecnico, and still today I'm serving as a member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE ITProfessional Magazine. I'm a Senior Member of IEEE and joined its honor Association Eta Kappa Nu in 2017.
I am co-author of several scientific publications and co-author of a book on computer networks.
