Luca Bedogni

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

After completing his Ph.D. at the Department of Computer Science, Science, and Engineering at the University of Bologna, where his research focused on network-based technologies in TV White Spaces, he is currently an adjunct professor in the Computer Science for Management degree program at the Department of Computer Science, Science, and Engineering at the University of Bologna.

Main research activities in Italy and abroad:

• Analytical modeling of complex, distributed, and mobile systems, including the use of smartphones and tablets
• Development of context-aware systems through the study and analysis of sensors on smartphones running Android and iOS operating systems, as well as embedded platforms
• Modeling and simulation of wireless networks, such as TV White Space, IEEE 802.11af, and IEEE 802.15.4m
• Context-aware computing and indoor positioning, using inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes
• Design of systems with cognitive wireless networks and vehicular networks, featuring agile spectrum capabilities
• Dynamic and adaptive video streaming platforms that adjust based on network infrastructure performance
• Study, analysis, and research of platforms and systems for the Internet of Things
• Big data analysis of data derived from vehicle GPS tracks

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