My main activity is the development coordination of a complete Proof of Concept covering all the aspects of vehicular communication and more. We have developed from scratch an On Board Unit, a Road Side Unit (RSU) with image processing capabilities, Cloud and edge automotive-related applications, a Decision Support System tool, artificial Vision applications for automotive and scalable computation of trajectories (things, vehicles), etc…Moreover, I am active in the use of Wireless communications and edge computing for Industry 4.0 and on e-security

Turin Area, Italy

I’m responsible for coordinating the work of a team of researchers involved in EU, National and regional funded projects. We often collaborate with private companies. On a daily basis, I'm personally involved in research activities, technical work and project proposals. Today the most relevant activities I follow are related to vehicular communications. We have developed from scratch a vehicular communication platform that we use for different purposes, such as: measurement on antenna performances, testing of real-time service over V2x communications, the interaction between V2x and precise GNSS positioning.I’m also involved in projects regarding security, wireless link for micro-UAV, maritime communications, etc…

Since 2006 I have been carrying out training activities in the fields of networking and e-security for several companies (from SME to large companies like FIAT)Since 2010 I have been appointed as coordinator (and as one of the trainers) for a yearly course intended for all the IT staff of FIAT Turin.I believe that complex matters have to be taught in the most simple and captive manner.

In 2005, in collaboration with the head of the department, I began working on open-source wireless embedded systems. In these years I have worked on several projects, initially as a researcher and then as a technical leader. Amongst the several, I would like to list the following: • A project in collaboration with one of the main industrial robot manufacturing company in Italy. Our aim was to substitute the cables of a robot control platforms with a WiFi link. After several months of tests and tuning we achieved a reliable communication channel that transports both control and safety signals. This solution is still being sold as a product today.• A project with the goal of designing and developing a low-cost industrial-grade wireless embedded system. Its purpose was the monitoring of environmental parameters in a very harsh environment (from an EMC point of view). The gathered data was to be sent to a control center via a long-distance WiFi link. The system had to powered with a low-power energy harvesting system (designed by another company) and built with COTS electronics and open source software. My responsibility was to coordinate the group of engineers that designed and developed the embedded system taking in account the electronics for sensing and EMC protection, the antennas, the design of the networking, the control center, the e-security aspects, etc…. As the prototype had to be as close as possible to the finished engineered product, I had to consider this aspect and pursue the contacts with suppliers.The prototypes were entirely operational and passed the industrial EMC tests.• Several projects with private companies regarding WiFi networks design and troubleshooting.

Various works on WiFi security and performance measurements of security impact in the first (2003-2004) handhelds devices.Design and development of ISMB WiFi networks.

As a member of the board of directors I was involved in the definition of the strategic activities of the company.I also had the responsibility of the telecommunications branch. I managed a funding of 2M€ coming from e the "Provincia di Biella" with the aim of building a fiber-optic network in the city of Biella and a wireless network in the rest of the territory with a strong focus on digital-divided areas. During this period I started the design of a free WiFi hotspot network that today count 40 points in Biella and its district.
