Biography

Associate Professor at the Polytechnic University of Turin (Politecnico di Torino) in the scientific-disciplinary field CEAR-03/B (Transport) since 2018, where he teaches courses on "Traffic Observation, Simulation, and Control" and "Vehicular Flows on Road Networks" within engineering degree programs. He holds a degree in Civil Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Bari (Politecnico di Bari) and a PhD in "Automation and Digitalization of Transport" from the Polytechnic University of Turin. Since 1998, he has been actively involved in research projects focusing on the modeling, simulation, and application of transport systems. His research interests include route guidance techniques for road networks, on-demand transport services, traffic analysis methodologies via simulation, monitoring and navigation systems for the transport of dangerous goods, services for electric mobility, and scenario simulation for analyzing technologies that support road safety. He is the author of over 100 scientific papers published in national and international journals, covering topics in traffic and transport engineering, with a particular focus on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).
