Valerio P

Short Resume

I'm an Assistant Professor (tenure-track, Ricercatore Tempo Determinato di tipo B, as we call it in Italy) at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (DIETI) of the University of Napoli Federico II, where I received my MS degree in 2013 and my PhD degree in 2016 defending a Thesis titled Network monitoring in public clouds: issues, methodologies, and applications..
I'm a member of Traffic and COMICS research groups.

Teaching

I teach the course of Fundamentals of Computer Science for the Laurea degrees (BS) in Computer Engineering, Automation Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering since 2020, and the course of Fundamentals of Computer Networks for the professional degree in Mechatronics Engineering since 2021. From 2018 to 2020 I thaugh the course of Computer Networks for the Laurea degrees (BS and MS) in Automation Engineering and Telecommunication Engineering.

Research interests

My research interests fall in the area of networking, and, in particular, of cloud-network monitoring, IP measurements, IP topology discovery, and traffic classification.

CloudSurf Project

I have been actively involved in the development of CloudSurf, a platform to easily perform network monitoring tasks in public-cloud infrastructures from the general user angle.
