Antonio Cianfrani received the "Laurea" degree, magna cum laude, in Telecommunications Engineering in 2004 and the Ph.D degree in Information and Communication Engineering in 2008 from University of Rome "La Sapienza". Since Dicember 2011 he is an assistant professor at the Department of Information, Electronic and Telecommunications engineering (DIET) of University of Rome “La Sapienza”. From June 2010 to November 2011 he has been a researcher of the National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT) at the research unit (RU) of the University of Rome, located at the Department of Information, Electronic and Telecommunications engineering (DIET). Antonio won a research grant from June 2008 to May 2010 with INFOCOM Department of University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Antonio was involved in many European and Italian research projects. From January 2004 to December 2005 he took part to the EURO (Esperimento Universitario di Router Open) research project (PRIN), funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR). His work regarded the performance evaluation of Software Router control plane, in particular of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) routing protocol. From January 2006 to December 2007 he participated to a new PRIN project, BORA-BORA (Building Open Router Architectures-Based On Router Aggregation), whose main aim was to study the scalability and reliability properties of Software Routers in a network scenario. From March 2008 to February 2011 he was a participant of the Network of Excellence (NoE) BONE (Building the future Optical Network in Europe) working on OTDM techniques in DWDM Optical Networks and Optical Packet Switching (OPS) networks. From January 2010 to December 2013 he took part to the Efficient PRIN project, working on energy-aware solution for IP networks, and to the STRONGEST (Scalable, Tunable and Resilient Optical Networks Guaranteeing Extremely-high Speed Transport) European Integrated Project (IP) working on energy characterization of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) devices. From November 2010 to October 2014 he was involved in the Network of Excellence (NoE) TREND (Towards Real Energy-efficient Network Design) and in the ECONET (low Energy COnsumption NETworks) European Integrated Project (IP), working on energy saving in IP backbone networks. From March 2012 to February 2016 he was the coordinator of the University of Rome research unit of the GreenNet (Greening the Network) project funded by the Italian Ministry of Research and Education under the FIRB "Futuro in Ricerca" program. In March 2017 he won a Cisco Grant for the research activity "Traffic Matrix computation in Segment Routing networks". Antonio has an official assignment from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” as professor for the courses "Networking for Big Data" e "Laboratorio di Applicazioni Telematiche”. Antonio is CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate Routing & Switching) certified and he was also involved in several teaching activities in the context of business training courses organized by Cisco Networking Academy. Antonio is an Editor of IEEE Transactions on Green Communication and Networking journal and he is the TPC Chair of the "Network of the Future 20017" international conference. He has co-authored several papers in international journals and conference proceedings. He also received the best paper award in “networking area” at GTTI (Associazione Gruppo Telecomunicazioni e Tecnologie dell'Informazione) 2007 Italian conference. His main research interests include green networking, IP routing protocols, Software Routers, optical networks and cloud networking.
