Currently leading research and innovation activities on Internet of Things and related enabling technologies, with special focus on their applicability in different domains: health, media, tourism and creative industries.I received a degree in Electronic Engineering with specialisation in Information Technology at the University Politecnico di Milano, in 1993. Working for more than 15 years in the TLC sector, initially in Alcatel Italia, then in companies of the Telecom Italia group, I had the opportunity to gain extensive experience in experimental research, design, development and management of complex projects, playing, among others, the role of Chief Solution Architect in the development of network management and business support systems for TCL operators and for large corporations, and the role of Project and Program Manager of a significant number of projects in this domain. More recently I had the opportunity to dive into Research and Innovation activities leading a team of researchers in Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK CREATE-NET Research Center) to explore innovative application and services in the Future Media and Internet of Things application domains.
