Giuseppe Aceto


Short resume

I serve as Assistant Professor (tenure-track, Ricercatore Tempo Determinato di tipo B) at Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e delle Tecnologie dell'Informazione of the Università di Napoli Federico II, where I have received in 2014 my PhD degree in Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering defending a thesis titled Monitoring Internet Censorship: the case of UBICA [PDF] [bibtex], the thesis supervisor being Prof. Giorgio Ventre and co-supervisor Prof. Antonio Pescapè.
I have received from the same institution my Laurea (MS) degree in Telecommunications Engineering in 2008, defending a thesis on a unified platform for available bandwidth estimation in heterogeneous IP networks, the thesis supervisor being Prof. Antonio Pescapè and co-supervisor Dr. Walter de Donato.
I worked as researcher for the same Department since my Laurea degree, as a member of the Traffic research group, led by Prof. Antonio Pescapè, and the COMICS, a research group on networking headed by Prof. Giorgio Ventre; within these groups I closely cooperate with Dr. Alessio Botta, Dr. Walter de Donato, Dr. Valerio Persico and Mr. Antonio Montieri.

My research interests are focused on networking, more specifically on network measurements, traffic analysis, and Internet Censorship.


Since 2018 I teach the course Fudamentals of Programming for the professional degree in Mechatronics Engineering, and since 2019 I teach the course Programming Tools and Techniques for the Laurea (MS) degrees in Telecommunications Engineering, Electronic Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering.
