Giuseppe Piro was born in Matera (MT) on 25 May 1984.

He received the first level (BSc) degree in Telecommunications Engineering in October 2006 and the second level degree (MSc) in Telecomunication Engineering in July 2008, both with honors, from the Polytechnic of Bari.

In June 2009 and in November 2009 he collaborated with Planete Project - INRIA, SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS (France) as research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Thierry Turletti, working on scheduling on WiMAX networks.

Research interests

His current research interests include the study of Scheduling Algorithms and Admission Control Algorithms , in order to satisfy QoS requirements of multimedia flows, for Wireless Networks.

In particular his activities are focused on:
- Feedback-Based bandwidth allocation algorithms for IEEE 802.11e WLAN.
- Scheduling algorithms for LTE (Long Term Evolution) Networks.
- Dynamic resource allocation in IEEE 802.16e (WiMAX) Networks.

He implemented some important features for the ns-3 WiMAX module (such as realtime-scheduling, mac fra/defragmentation etc... ), becoming one of authors of Network Simulator 3 software. The module is available on this link: http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-dev/.

Current Position

Since January 2009, he is a Ph.D. student in Electronics Engineering at the Polytechnic of Bari.
