Giuseppe Piro
Full Professor
Polytechnic University of Bari
Giuseppe Piro is a Full Professor in Telecommunications at the Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) and co-responsible of the “Experimental Laboratory of Integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks and Services (iTNT-NS)” developed in the context of the PNRR PE14 RESTART Partnership. He received a first-level degree and a second-level degree (both cum laude) in Telecommunications Engineering from “Politecnico di Bari”, Italy, in 2006 and 2008, respectively. He received the Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering from “Politecnico di Bari”, Italy, in March 2012. His main research interests include mobile communication systems, integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, physical and network layer security, intent-based networking, Internet of Things, Software-Defined Networking, Information-Centric Networking, nano-scale communications, and network simulation tools. At the time of this writing, he holds the role of Principal Investigator for the PRIN project “Integrated Terrestrial/Space wireless networks for broadband connectivity and IoT services (INSPIRE)” and of Local Investigator (at the Polytechnic University of Bari) for the ISP5G+ Innovative Security Paradigms” project funded by the PNRR PE7 SERICS Partnership. He has been Local Investigator for the PRIN project “Realtime Control of 5G Wireless Networks: Taming the Complexity of Future Transmission and Computation Challenges” and of two projects funded by the European Space Agency (SATIABLE, NB-IoT4Space). He has been also involved in EU H2020 projects (FANTASTIC-5G, BONVOYAGE, symbIoTe, and GUARD), Italian MIUR PON projects (Pico&Pro, FURTHER, AGREED, RAFAEL), and Italian MISE projects (Casa delle Tecnologie di Matera, Pre-commercial trials of 5G technology using spectrum in the 3.6 GHz-3.8 GHz range). He founded 5G-air-simulator, LTE-Sim, and NANO-SIM open-source projects.
He is regularly involved as a member of the TPC of many prestigious international conferences.
Currently, he serves as Associate Editor for Internet Technology Letter (Wiley), Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (Hindawi), and Sensors (MDPI).
