Biography

Marco Savi is an Associate Professor at University of Milano-Bicocca (Milano, Italy).

He received his BSc (2010) and MSc (2012, summa cum laude) in Telecommunications Engineering (Networking area) both from Politecnico di Milano (Milano, Italy). His master thesis investigated users' privacy concerns in a Smart Grid scenario.

In June 2016 he pursued a PhD degree in Information Technology at Politecnico di Milano. During his PhD studies he worked on Content Delivery and on the emerging Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm.

From March 2016 to March 2020 he worked with Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Trento, Italy) initially as Postdoc Researcher, being promoted to Expert Researcher in 2018. He was involved on several research topics including Fog Computing, Network Monitoring, SDN Multi-layer Networks and NFV.

In April 2020 he joined the Department of Informatics, Systems and Communication (DISCo) of University of Milano-Bicocca as Non-Tenured Assistant Professor (RTD-A), becoming Tenure-Track Assistant Professor (RTD-B) in October 2022 and Associate Professor in October 2025. He is currently working on various topics related to computer networking, including Serverless Computing applied to NFV, Programmable Data Planes for Network Monitoring and Machine Learning applied to Network Security. He also carries on teaching activities.

He has published more than 70 peer-reviewed papers in reputed international journals and conferences (ORCID, Scopus, Google Scholar).
