Teaching
Since 1994 to 2001 he had the appointment of Professor
for several courses in the area of Telecommunications at the
University
of Bologna and
at the
University of Ferrara.
As a Full Professor, since 2001 he has been teaching
basic courses on Telecommunications and, since 2003, an advanced course
on Radio Systems and Networks at the University of Bologna.
He was also tutorial speaker for some IEEE Conferences, and gave a
web-based course on Wireless Sensor Networks.
Research
His research activity is concerned with both
infrastructure-based radio networks (Cellular and Mobile Radio Systems,
Wireless Local Area Networks) and infrastructure-less radio networks
(Ad
Hoc and Wireless Sensor Networks, Vehicular Networks). Main topics
investigated in the last
ten years are Radio Resource Management for cellular systems, and MAC,
routing and topology aspects of wireless sensor networks.
For a list of publications, see below.
Projects
In 1992 he was involved in the European research
program
PROMETHEUS.
Since 1995 he worked in the context of
research programmes funded by the Italian Ministry or Research (MIUR)
and the National Research Council, namely "TELCO" (TELecommunications
network for COoperative
Driving), and
"Multimedialita'", in the latter case as responsible for IEIIT-BO
activities.
He also led in past years activities of IEIIT-BO
in
projects funded by ESA (European Space Agency), and was
responsible for collaborations with
industrial partners, like Telecom Italia Mobile.
In 2002 he was National coordinator of GITS
(GPRS for
ITS), an one-year project funded by CNR.
Since 2004 he participated to NEWCOM (the Network of
Excellence in
Wireless
COMmunications). He was NEWCOM
Vice-Director. He also participated to CRUISE and other
European Projects.
He is now
Executive Board member of NEWCOM++, the follow up of NEWCOM,
representing CNIT.
He is responsible for contracts with
industrial institutions
on
behalf of DEIS.
Since 1997 he has been participating to COST
activities, namely to COST259 and COST273. Since 2001 he was Chairman
of
the Working Group on Network
Aspects within Action COST273.
He is now General Chairman for the follow-up COST Action on Wireless
and Mobile
Communications, COST2100.
Other
He is member of IEEE. He acted as TPC member of
many IEEE conferences.
Roberto Verdone was the Workshop
Organiser of WWBo - The Wireless Week
in
Bologna, a joint NEWCOM and COST273 event that attracted
almost 300 researchers in Bologna, on January 17-21, 2005. In 2008 he
was General Co-Chairman of EWSN2008,
the European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks, held in Bologna on
Jan 30-31 and Feb 1, serving also as
TPC Co-Chairman. The EWSN2008
Proceedings take the form of a book and are published by Springer.
He is co-author of the book "Wireless
Sensor and Actuator Networks",
published by Elsevier, Academic Press, on January 2008.
