PEPPINO FAZIO – BIOGRAPHY<\/span><\/h2>\n

I was born in Catanzaro in 1977. I took my master’s degree<\/strong> in Computer Engineering in 2004 at University of Calabria (UNICAL) with my thesis<\/a> named “A New Algorithm of Rate Adaptation and Call Admission Control for QoS Optimization in Wireless Networks with a Slow Fading Channel”. At the end of 2004 I started my Ph.D. activity in Electronics and Communications Engineering at UNICAL<\/a><\/strong> on mobility prediction, channel modeling, resource reservation and vehicular communications.\u00a0I took my Ph.D.<\/strong> in 2008 with my thesis <\/a>titled “Resource Reservation Protocol and Predictive Algorithms for QoS support in Wireless Environments”, resuming my main research results in a dissertation on Markovian channel modeling in wireless networks, resource reservation protocols, utility-based rate adaptation, user mobility statistical analysis and prediction with unconventional approaches. My Ph.D. supervisor has been Prof. Salvatore Marano<\/a> (now retired). In the middle of 2008 I have been Research Fellow<\/strong> at the “Universidad Politecnica” of Valencia (UPV<\/a><\/strong>) for several months, in order to make some post-doc research<\/strong> on vehicular networks and, in particular, the multi-channel structure of MAC in VANETs. My external fellowship supervisors have been Prof. Pietro Manzoni<\/a> and Prof. Carlos Calafate<\/a>. In the period September-October 2008 I participated to the european ORACOLO project with an idea called “Winets: Wireless Information Networks for Enhanced Telecommunication services”. At the end of 2008 and in the first months of 2009 I have been involved in two italian research and development PON projects<\/strong> (PROMIS<\/a><\/strong> and AUTOMA<\/a><\/strong>) as supervisor and developer in Java, C++ and Linux OS Debian-like. In the PROMIS<\/a><\/strong> project (related to the application of RF-ID technology in hostile environments) I developed some skills in the field of RF-ID positioning and location management, with particular attention to the confidentiality analysis and preservation in the local RF-ID segment. In the AUTOMA<\/a><\/strong> project (related to the study and development of a distributed system with different technologies and protocols, such as UMTS, WLAN and AODV) I faced some research issues about the integration of different communication technologies, with particular attention to the service reliability during forwarding operations between local AODV segment and cellular communications. From 2010 to 2013 I have been a post-doc research fellow<\/strong> at DIMES<\/a><\/strong> DEPT. (UNICAL<\/strong><\/a>), making some research studies and delivering lectures about telecommunication systems. In the same period I also got the CISCO\u00a0instructor CCNA exploration certification (CISCO-CCNAe<\/a>)<\/strong>. In 2012 I have been awarded by StartCup Calabria\u00a02012<\/strong><\/a> as member of the developing team of the Intelligent Remote Controller (IRC); for the same idea, in November 2012 I participated to Premio Nazionale Innovazione<\/strong> (PNI<\/a><\/strong>)\u00a0and in June 2013 I participated to the final stage of the Intel Business Challenge Europe (IBCE2013<\/a>)<\/strong>. From September 2013 I have been\u00a0Assistant Professor<\/strong> at DIMES<\/a><\/strong> DEPT. In October 2014 I participated to StartCup Calabria 2014<\/strong><\/a> as member of the developing team and co-founder of S<\/span>PITCH<\/span><\/a>;<\/strong> for the same idea, the team has been awarded with\u00a0the Lamarck<\/strong><\/a> award in November 2014, during SMAU CALABRIA 2014<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>In March 2015 I co-managed the S<\/span>PITCH<\/span><\/strong> stand at the SMAU BERLIN 2015<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0I have been involved in the I-CONTACT<\/a><\/strong> research and development PON italian project<\/strong>, regarding the wide-band distribution in different local places, and the SMARTEL<\/strong><\/a> research and development project, regarding the physical security in logistic places (I have been the academic supervisor for this porject). For the I-CONTACT project I made research activity on VoIP communications (managed through PBX and Asterisk trunks), digital flows control and security\/attack risks in distributed environments. For the SMARTEL project I faced many problems about RF-ID and GPS technologies. Since October 2015 I continued my postDOC position at UNICAL<\/strong>, being also involved in the DOMUS ENERGY\/SECURITY<\/strong> PON project. Since Semptember 2016 I continued my research activity, while being a middle-school Technology teacher at the IC Brugnera<\/a> Institute. In the meanwhile, form 2017 to today, I developed strong research collaborations with the VSB-TUO Technical University of Ostrava<\/a> and its Department of Telecommunications<\/a>, with Prof. Miroslav Voznak<\/a> (I have been also a Research Fellow<\/strong> there for six months in 2019) and the University of Sarajevo<\/a> and its Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (Bosnia and Erzegovina) with Prof. Miralem Mehic<\/a>, especially in the field of Mobility analysis and Quantum Key Distribution Networks (QKDNs)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

From January 2021 I became an Assistant Professor (and the reference Professor for the GSD 09\/IINF-03 – IINF-03\/A SSD, ex 09\/A2 – ING-INF\/03 SSD) at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice<\/a>, Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems (DSMN)<\/a>, delivering lectures on telecommunications to both bachelor’s<\/a> and master’s<\/a> degrees Physics Engineering courses. Since 2021 I am member of the Research and Orienteering Steering Committes of the DSMN. Since October 2022 I am member of the of the Steering Committee of the Doctoral Course Computer Science at the DAIS<\/a> of University of Venice. <\/span>I got more than 150 publications (more than 65 on international journals) about wireless communications, ad-hoc and vehicular networks, QKDNs, mobility prediction. My research interests include also mobile communication networks, QoS architectures and internetworking (see “My research<\/a><\/strong>” and “Academia<\/a><\/strong>” pages for more details). From the end of 2021, I am member of the Electronics and Telecom Lab (E&T Lab<\/a>) of the DSMN – Ca’ Foscari. From 1st January 2024 I became an Associate Professor<\/a><\/strong> at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice<\/a>, Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems (DSMN)<\/a>, Ca’ Foscari’s CNIT Representative member<\/a> and Ca’ Foscari’s One6G Representative member<\/a>. In June 2025 I have been nominated among the top 0.5% researchers worldwide<\/strong> for 2024 in the field of mobile computing for the ScholarGPS database (265th over 60485 researchers) (Mobile Computing Lifetime<\/a>). In December 2025 I have been nominated among the top 1% researchers worldwide<\/strong> for 2025 in the fields of mobile computing (247th over 61960 researchers, 0.4%), wireless communications (3467th over 348281 researchers, 1%), mobility (2433rd over 249133 researchers, 0.98%), wireless networks (590th over 61989 researchers 0.95%), routing protocols (154th over 19731 researchers, 0.78%), for the ScholarGPS database (Lifetime<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n
