Abstract

Carla Fabiana Chiasserini is a Professor with the Electronics and Telecommunications Department of Politecnico di Torino, where she leads the Advanced Wireless Experience (AWE) Lab, and a Research Associate with the Italian National Research Council (CNR). She currently serves as the Vice Rector for Alumni and Career Orientation at Politecnico di Torino. She is an IEEE Fellow. Her research interests include the design of wireless network architectures, the definition of protocols and algorithms for mobile networks and applications, and the creation of theoretical models for the study and the performance evaluation of wireless systems. Her research is indeed a combination of system design and network-theory, aiming to design algorithms and methods that solve real problems, starting with actual data and scenarios. As far as application domains are concerned, she has been focusing on energy efficiency of wireless systems, connected cars, mobility services, service virtualization, and smart healthcare.
