Luca Bedogni

Luca Bedogni received his bachelor's and master's degrees in Computer Science from the University of Bologna.

After receiving his Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Bologna, where he conducted research on TV White Spaces network technologies, he is currently an adjunct professor of the bachelor's degree program in Computer Science for Management at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the University of Bologna.

Main research activities in Italy and abroad:

• Analytical modeling of complex, distributed, and mobile systems, including through the use of smartphones and tablets
• Development of Context-Aware systems, through the study and analysis of sensors on Android and iOS operating system smartphones, as well as embedded platforms
• Modeling and Simulation of wireless networks, such as TV White Space, IEEE 802.11af, IEEE 802.15.4m
• Context-dependent computing and indoor localization, using inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes
• Design of systems with cognitive wireless networks and vehicular networks, with spectrum agile functionality
• Dynamic and adaptive video streaming platforms relative to network infrastructure performance
• Study, analysis, and research of platforms and systems for the Internet of Things
• Big data analysis, relative to data from vehicular GPS traces

He is a speaker at national and international events and conferences and the author of numerous publications.
