CURRICULUM

Marco Ajmone Marsan is a Full Professor at the Electronics Department of Politecnico di Torino, in Italy, and a part-time Chief Researcher at IMDEA Networks (www.imdea.org/networks) in Madrid. He is the founder and the leader of the Telecommunication Networks Group at the Electronics Department of Politecnico di Torino.

Marco Ajmone Marsan holds degrees in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Torino and University of California, Los Angeles.

Marco Ajmone Marsan was at Politecnico di Torino’s Electronics Department from November 1975 to October 1987 - first as a researcher and then as an Associate Professor. He was a Full Professor at the University of Milan’s Computer Science Department from November 1987 to October 1990. From September 2002 to March 2009 he was the Director of the Institute for Electronics, Information and Telecommunications Engineering of the National Research Council. From 2005 to 2009 he was the Vice-Rector for Research, Innovation and Technology Transfer at Politecnico di Torino.

During the summers of 1980 and 1981, he was with the Research in Distributed Processing Group, Computer Science Department, UCLA. During the summer of 1998 he was an Erskine Fellow at the Computer Science Department of the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.

He has co-authored over 300 journal and conference papers in Communications and Computer Science, as well as the two books "Performance Models of Multiprocessor Systems," published by the MIT Press, and "Modelling with Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets," published by John Wiley.

In 1982, he received the best paper award at the Third International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems in Miami, Florida. In 2002, he was awarded a honorary doctoral degree in Telecommunications Networks from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
