Luca De Cicco is an Associate Professor of Automatica since February 2021. He graduated in Computer Science Engineering in 2003 with honors. 
He received the Ph.D. in Information Engineering in July 2008 from Politecnico di Bari (advisor Prof. [[Mascolo | Saverio Mascolo]]). His main interests range from modeling and design of congestion control algorithms for multimedia transport to adaptive live video streaming,  robotics, reinforcement learning. Since 2017 he serves as Associate Editor for [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2476-1508?campaign=rdtwol-42853.4129513889 Internet Technology Letters] (Wiley).
He has covered several visiting researcher positions: at University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, NM, USA) and at [http://www.l2s.supelec.fr/ L2S] (Laboratoire des signaux et systèmes) École Supérieure d'Électricité (Supelec), Gif-sur-Yvette (Paris), France; at the Laboratory of Information, Networking and Communication Sciences ([https://www.lincs.fr LINCS]) in 2013 and 2014. He has been post-doc at [http://www.telecom-sudparis.eu/ Telecom SudParis] in 2015 working at the RST department.
