Studies

Accountancy Diploma:   received from "Margherita di Savoia" College of Rome (Italy) in 1994, marks 56/60;

Degree in Mathematics: received from "La Sapienza" University of Rome in May 2000, marks 109/110;

Graduation Thesis:   "Reversibility Property for Homogenous Markov Chains and Applications".
                                            Ref. Prof. Fabio Spizzichino - Probability and Stochastic Processes

Currently, I am Ph.D. student at Computing and Systems Engineering Department (DIS) in the University of Rome "La Sapienza".

On Gennuary 2001, I followed the school:

                "Topics in Nonlinear Dynamics: Stability, Bifurcation and Caos"

organized by SICC (Italian Society for Caos and Complexity), FEEM (Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei) and Politecnico di Milano, in Milan (Italy). Now, I am member of the SICC.

On Gennuary 2002, I attended a new International School TOPICS IN NONLINEAR DYNAMICS, organized by SICC, in Venice (Italy), where a special session has been devoted to evolutionary dynamics.

Research

In the context of my Ph.D. studies, I am researching optimization problems about congestion control and scheduling in Wireless Internet Networks satisfying QoS requirements. I am also involved in the capacity allocation problem for Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks.

Other research fields of interest are: control theory, filtering theory and stochastic processes.
