Peppino FAZIO

I took my master’s degree in Computer Engineering in 2004 at University of Calabria (UNICAL) and the Ph.D. in 2008. In the middle of 2008 I have been at the “Universidad Politecnica” of Valencia (UPV) for several months, in order to make some post-doc research on vehicular networks and, in particular, the multi-channel structure of MAC in VANETs. In the period September-October 2008 I participated to the european ORACOLO project with an idea called “Winets: Wireless Information Networks for Enhanced Telecommunication services”. At the end of 2008 and in the first months of 2009 I have been involved in two italian research and development PON projects (PROMIS and AUTOMA), related to the application of RF-ID technology in hostile environments, RF-ID positioning and location management, with particular attention to the confidentiality analysis and preservation in the local RF-ID segment. From 2010 to 2013 I have been a post-doc research fellow at DIMES DEPT. (UNICAL), making some research studies and teachings about telecommunication systems. In the same period I also got the CISCO instructor CCNA exploration certification (CISCO-CCNAe). In 2012 I have been awarded by StartCup Calabria 2012 as member of the developing team of the Intelligent Remote Controller (IRC); for the same idea, in November 2012 I participated to Premio Nazionale Innovazione (PNI) and in June 2013 I participated to the final stage of the Intel Business Challenge Europe (IBCE2013). From September 2013 I have been Assistant Professor at DIMES DEPT. In October 2014 I participated at StartCup Calabria 2014 as member of the developing team and co-founder of SPITCH; for the same idea, the team has been awarded with the Lamarck award in November 2014, during SMAU CALABRIA 2014. In March 2015 I co-managed the SPITCH stand at the SMAU BERLIN 2015. I have been involved in the I-CONTACT research and development PON italian project, regarding the wide-band distribution in different local places, and the SMARTEL research and development project, regarding the physical security in logistic places. I got many publications about wireless communications, ad-hoc and vehicular networks and many collaborations with Telecommunications Group of “Universidad Politecnica de Valencia” (GRC) and Department of Telecommunications of Technical University of Ostrava (VSB). My research interests include also mobile communication networks, QoS architectures and internetworking. From 1st September 2016 to 31st December 2020 I have been Technology middle-school teacher at the I.C. Brugnera. From 1st January 2021 I am Assistant Professor at DSMN of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
