Short Biography

I received the Master degree in computer science from Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy, in 2008. After a successful defense of my thesis Governing Routing in the Evolving Internet, I obtained the PhD degree from Roma Tre University in April 2012. After a short period as research fellow at Consortium GARR, I have been a post-doctoral researcher at the Universite catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) and a research associate of the Belgian fund for scientific research (F.R.S.-FNRS), for 4 years. Now, I am with University College London since October 2016.

My research interests span network architecture, management and routing systems, network protocols, measurements and monitoring. On those topics, I have co-authored more than 30 articles at top conferences and journals, including the ICNP 2013 and SIGCOMM 2015 best papers.
