Marco Miozzo received his MSc degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Ferrara (Italy) in 2005 and the PhD from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in 2018. After graduated, he worked as a Research Engineer in wireless networking for the Consorzio Ferrara Ricerche (CFR) and for the Department of Information Engineering (DEI) of the University of Padova, both in Italy. In CTTC he has been involved in the development of an LTE module for the network simulator 3 (ns-3) in the framework of the LENA project. Currently he is collaborating with the EU founded H2020 SCAVENGE (MSCA ETN), where is leading WP4. In the past, he has been involved in 5G-Crosshaul, Flex5Gwarem, SANSA and SWAP projects, working on environmental sustainable mobile networks with energy harvesting capabilities through machine learning techniques.

His main research interests are in: sustainable mobile networks, green wireless networking, energy harvesting , machine learning, green AI, energy ethical consumerism, transparent and explainable AI.
