Projects

| Open RAN and intelligent controllers
Sept 2023 - present
Integration of a near-RT RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) to the previously developed 5g testbed to allow for dynamic resource allocation, mobility, and spectrum sharing.

| Automatic deployment of 5G private network testbed
Jul 2023 - Sept 2023
Continuation of the previous project, aimed at packaging the testbed in an easy-to-deploy framework by means of Helm charts and Docker images on a Kubernetes cluster.

| Exploratory work in open source 5G private networks
Feb 2023 - Jul 2023
Project conducted in collaboration with Pavonis Sàrl and EPFL SENS lab with the aim of exploring open source projects in the private 5G network area, to create a framework which will serve as testbed for future research.

| Models and simulations to solve complex environmental mobility problems
Mar 2022 - Jun 2022
Challenge-based project aimed at proposing innovative solutions to Roma servizi per la mobilità, an institutional agency controlling Roma’s transports related issues. The project mainly focused on building a working Vensim model able to predict consequences to specific actions that can be taken by "Roma servizi per la mobilità" to reduce the environmental impact of last-mile delivery.

| Algorithms for Music Processing
Apr 2022 - Jun 2022
Group-based workshop aimed at developing a working real time autotune in C++ using JUCE framework.

| Building energy performance and comfort
Mar 2021 - Jun 2021
Project based on the use of Edilclima to assess Politecnico di Torino’s rooms’ energy consumption and suggest ways to improve their energy performance with the main focus being the comfort of the users and the environmental impact
