Massimiliano Laddomada

Massimiliano Laddomada received his M.S. degree in electronics engineering in 1999, and his Ph.D. degree in communications engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 2003. He was awarded a five-year open-ended fellowship by EDSU in recognition of his university career as an electronics engineer. In 2003, he was awarded the Premio Zucca per la Innovazione nell’ICT by Unione Industriale of Turin. From June 2000 to March 2001, he served as a Visiting Scholar at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA), and as a consultant engineer at Technoconcepts, Inc., Los Angeles—a startup company specializing in software radio. From 2003 to 2008, he was a Research Associate at Politecnico di Torino, and a part-time faculty member at CSULA, where he has given courses on signal and systems analysis. Since 2008, Laddomada has been an Assistant Professor of electrical engineering at Texas A&M University - Texarkana. His research is mainly in digital signal processing and wireless communications, especially modulation and coding, including turbo codes and, more recently, network coding. He holds a patent on distributed coding in sensor networks. During the past eight years, he has been working on a number of projects sponsored by telecommunications industries and by the European Commission. Laddomada is a Member of IEEE. Currently, he is also serving as a Member of the Editorial Board of IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials, and a Member of the Technical Program Committee of International Conferences on wireless communications and signal processing.
