I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in June 2007 after working at the Broadband and Wireless Networking Laboratory (BWN-Lab) under the direction of Prof. I. F. Akyildiz. In 2005, I was awarded Georgia Institute of Technology BWN-Lab Researcher of the Year for "outstanding contributions and professional achievements". I had previously received my "Laurea" (integrated B.S. and M.S.) and Doctorate degrees in Telecommunications Engineering and System Engineering from the University of Rome ‘‘La Sapienza’’, Rome, Italy, in 2001 and 2004, respectively, after working with the DIS Department, advised by Prof. F. Delli Priscoli. In September 2007, I joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. I am member of the IEEE Communications Society and the ACM Communication Society.
