Work & Interests

Marianna works on characterizing and understanding the behavior of wireless links. She is recently focusing on Wireless Home Networking. Her goal is to enable multimedia traffic on 802.11-based home networks, by the introduction of smart APs, requiring no modifications to existing end devices.
Her advisor is Martin May.
During the PhD studies, Marianna enjoyed spending five months at the Embedded Networks Laboratory (University of Southern California), working with Professor Ramesh Govindan, Professor Konstantinos Psounis and Ki-Young Jang.

Short Bio

Marianna was born in Pinerolo, nearby Torino (Italy), in 1983. She studied Computer Science Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, obtaining her BSc in Sept 2005 and MSc in Feb 2008, graduating cum laude. As part of her Master studies she spent one year at Eurecom, in Sophia Antipolis (France), where she obtained (Sept 2007) a Master Recherche in Network and Distribuited System (“Sciences et technologies de l'information et de la communication, Réseaux et systèmes distribués”).

She prepared her Master Thesis “Implementation And Evaluation of a MAC-aware Link Cost Metric for Wireless Mesh Networks”, at the Thomson Paris Research Lab (now Technicolor Research and Innovation Lab), with Henrik Lundgren, Theodoros Salonidis and Christophe Diot.

She's currently a PhD Student at Technicolor Research and Innovation Lab in Paris, supervised by Martin May.
