Massimo Monti

 

*** No longer with the Universitaet Basel ***

Now with Elettronica Monti (Italy)

E-mail: massimo@elettronicamonti.it

 



I have been first a Ph.D. student and then a post-doctoral researcher in the Computer Science Department at the University of Basel, and a member of the Computer Networks Research Group. I am no longer with the University of Basel but I still collaborate with Unibasel Computer Networks Research Group for minor research and teaching activities.
My research interests were focused on novel approaches to design and analyze algorithms for communication and networking systems. I have been involved in a project which exploited chemistry-inspired rules in order to provide stability, as well as designing predictability and controllability, to networking and communication systems.
