CURRICULUM

Andrea Bianco is Full Professor at the Dipartimento di Elettronica of Politecnico di Torino.
He was born in Torino, Italy, in 1962.
He holds a Dr.Ing degree in Electronics Engineering (since 1986) and a Ph.D. in Telecommunications Engineering (since 1994) both from Politecnico di Torino.

  • Since July 1988 to April 1991 he has been involved in office automation projects requiring data-base and information retrieval integration in a networked environment in a small company in Torino.
  • Since May 1991 to December 1994 he was with the Dipartimento di Elettronica of Politecnico di Torino as a Ph.D. student.
  • In 1993 he was for one year visiting scholar at HP Labs in Palo Alto, CA, researching on performance analysis of TCP protocol over ATM networks.
  • From January 1995 to November 1995 he was with the Dipartimento di Sistemi di Produzione ed Economia dell'Azienda of Politecnico di Torino as Assistant Professor.
  • Since November 1995 he was with the Dipartimento di Elettronica of Politecnico di Torino as a member of the Telecommunication group, first as Assistant Professor and later as Associate Professor.
  • During the summer 1998 he visited the Electrical Department of Stanford University.

His teaching duties at Politecnico comprise graduate-level courses on basic telecommunication networks and advanced topics on quality of service issues and network management in modern telecommunication networks as well as on switching architectures.

He wasd involved in the FEDERICA project, with the goal to create a European wide technology agnostic infrastructure made of Gigabit circuits, transmission equipment and computing nodes capable of virtualization to host experimental activities on new Internet architectures and protocols. He lead the Italian MIUR project on scalable software router BORA-BORA, he was involved in the Italian project on the construction of an optical demonstrator of an optical switch OSATE, and in the European Network of Excellence on Optical Networks e-PHOTON/ONe and Bone. In the past, he participated in several National and European projects such as the Italian projects on optical networks RINGO, IPPO, and WONDER, the Italian project on software routers EURO, the IST project DAVID, and the European ACTS projects on a single layer optical network SONATA.
He was also involved in several consulting and research project with private industries, including BT, Lucent, TILAB, CISCO and Alcatel.

He has co-authored over 150 papers published in international journals and presented in leading international conferences in the area of telecommunication networks.

He received two best paper awards, at HPSR 2006 and IEEE GLOBECOM 2009.

He was Technical Program Co-Chair for the High Performance Switching and Routing Symposium (HPSR) in 2003 and 2008, for DRCN (Design of Reliable Communication Networks) 2005, for IT-NEWS (International Telecommunication NEtworking WorkShop on QoS in Multiservice IP networks) 2008, and ICC 2010 (Optical Networks and Systems Symposium).
He was a member of the TPC of several conferences, including IEEE INFOCOM in 2000, 2009, 2010, and 2011, IEEE GLOBECOM 2005 (Photonic Technologies for Communications), 2006 (Control and Management of High Performance Networks), 2007-2010 (Optical Networks and Systems), IEEE ICC (Optical Systems and Networks Symposium) 2006-2010, Networking 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR) 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, IFIP (Optical Networks Design and Modelling) ONDM 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, Hot Interconnects (HotI) 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.
He is Area Editor for the Elsevier Computer Communications journal. He was co-editor of two books: LNCS volume 1989 on QoS in Multiservice IP Networks, and "Next Generation Optical Network and Modelling" published by Kluwer (2003), and of three Special Issues: Special Issue of Computer Networks Journal on QoS for IP Networks (2002), Special Issue of Optical Networks Magazine on Dynamic Optical Networking (2003), and Special Issue of Communications Magazine on Next Generation Switching and Routing (2005).
