Education
editGiancarlo Fortino was born in Italy in 1971. He graduated from University of Calabria in 1995 with a laurea (5-year master's degree) in computer engineering. In 2000, he received a PhD in computer engineering from the University of Calabria.[1]
Career
editGiancarlo Fortino is currently a full-time professor of computer engineering at the Department of Informatics, Modeling, Electronics and Systems (DIMES) of the University of Calabria, where he is the director of the SPEME (Smart, Pervasive and Mobile systems Engineering) lab. He has supervised or co-supervised more than 15 doctoral students.[1]
In 1997 and 1999, he was a research scholar at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, US. In 2009, he was a visiting professor at Queensland University of Technology, Australia. In 2001–2006, he was an assistant professor and in 2006–2018 he was an associate professor at the University of Calabria. In 2012, he was nominated Guest Professor of Computer Engineering at the Wuhan University of Technology. In 2015, he was nominated adjunct full professor of computer engineering in the framework of High-End Foreign Experts in China. Since 2015, he has been an adjunct senior research fellow at the Institute of High-Performance Computing and Networks of the National Research Council (Italy).[2] In 2017, he was nominated high-end expert at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China. In 2019, he served as a visiting scientist at Shenzhen Institute of Information Technology after being awarded a Chinese Academy of Sciences President's International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI). In the same year, he was also nominated distinguished professor at Huazhong Agricultural University, China.[3]
