Fabio Patrone is currently an Assistant Professor at the Satellite Communications and Networking Laboratory (SCNL) of the University of Genoa. His main research activities concern Satellite and DTN networks and cybersecurity, in particular: design of Routing, Scheduling, and Congestion Control algorithms for Satellite Communication (SatCom) networks; study of integration solutions between SatCom and terrestrial networks within the 5G framework, exploiting new networking paradigms such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV); study of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions based on satellite/aerial networks; design of Machine Learning (ML)-based solutions to apply to cybersecurity problems, such as ML-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).
