Federico Brunero

PhD Graduate in Communication Systems

Biography

I am a fresh PhD graduate at the Sorbonne Université. I conducted my research in the Communication Systems Department at EURECOM under the supervision of Prof. Petros Elia. My PhD thesis focused on the combinatorial and information-theoretic aspects of caching and computing networks.

In 2017, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino. In 2019, thanks to the TOP-UIC double degree program, I received both the Master’s Degree in Communications and Computer Networks Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino and the Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), where I completed my master’s thesis under the supervision of Prof. Daniela Tuninetti and Prof. Natasha Devroye.

During the PhD I decided to deepen my knowledge of machine learning and data science following the courses given by the Data Science Department at EURECOM. Hence, I received in 2021 the Master of Science in Data Science and Engineering co-accredited by the Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT).

Currently, my research interests include wireless communications and machine learning in addition to information theory, coding theory and combinatorics.

I am a passionate LaTeX user and a digital typography enthusiast. I play the piano and lately I am discovering trekking. I excitedly follow the Formula 1 Championship.
