biography
Marco Mezzavilla is a post-doc leading various mmWave-related research projects, mainly focusing on 5G PHY/MAC design and network performance evaluation. He received the B.Sc. (2007) and the M.Sc. (2010) in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Padova (Italy), and the PhD (2013) in Information Engineering from the same university, under the supervision of Prof. M. Zorzi. He held visiting research positions at the NEC Network Laboratories in Heidelberg (Germany, 2009), at the Telematics Department at Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona (Spain, 2010) and at Qualcomm Research in San Diego (USA, 2012). He has authored and co-authored multiple publications in conferences, journals and some patent applications. He is serving as reviewer for many IEEE conferences, journals and magazines. His research interests include design and validation of communication protocols and applications to Fourth-generation (4G) broadband wireless technologies, millimeter wave communications for 5G networks, multimedia traffic optimization, radio resource management, spectrum sharing, convex optimization, cognitive networks and experimental analysis.
