The IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Power Line Communications (TC-PLC) has honored my activity with two prestigious awards: The 2019 Outstanding Servive Award and the 2019 Interdisciplinary [...]

Federico Passerini successfully completed his PhD under my supervision defending the thesis “Exploitation of the power line channel properties to enable new applications” on February [...]

Filter bank modulation schemes for transmission over wide band channels are becoming the choice for current and future wireless and wireline systems. OFDM is the most popular technique. It has [...]

Channel measurements are improtant to characterize the PLC channel. We have developed both measurement methodologies and statistical analysis tools. New results about the characterization of the [...]

Bottom-up channel modeling refers to an approach where the channel impulse/frequency response is obtained via the application of transmission line (TL) theory to a specified network topology, [...]

Top-down channel modeling refers to an approach where the channel impulse/frequency response is obtained with a parametric model with parameters obtained by fitting real data from measurements. [...]

UWB in the form of impulsive modulation is an interesting transmission technique for its low implementation complexity. We are investigating it both for in-home and smart-grid applications.

We have developed a novel breakthrough filter bank technology that captures the best charactersitics of the known filter bank solutions but in a radical new architetural philosophy. It exhibits [...]

I have organized several events covering the area of smart energy grids. Workshop on PLC 2009 IEEE ISPLC 2011 IEEE SmartGridComm 2014 Workshop on PLC 2015 Workshop on Smart Grid Technologies 2018 [...]

Home energy management systems can be used to monitor and optimize consumption and local production from renewable energy. To assess solutions before their deployment, researchers and designers [...]
