Luca Durante

Luca Durante serves as an External Lecturer and Teaching Assistant at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering (DAUIN) of the Polytechnic University of Turin, while holding a Senior Researcher position at the National Research Council - Institute of Electronics, Information and Telecommunications Engineering (CNR-IEIIT). His current teaching responsibilities include instructing Databases for Management Engineering undergraduates (2024/25) and serving as Teaching Assistant for Formal Verification of Concurrent and Distributed Software and Systems in the PhD program.

His research centers on industrial network security and formal verification, with deep expertise in industrial communication protocols like Fieldbus. Key contributions span security policy enforcement in industrial control systems, access control modeling, and performance analysis of networked industrial environments. Recent work integrates Software Defined Networking (SDN) for dynamic security solutions, while maintaining foundational research in protocol standardization.

Durante's publication history reveals an evolutionary trajectory from early protocol performance studies (1990s) toward modern security frameworks for industrial IoT. His 2013-2017 work established critical methodologies for access control policies and SDN-enhanced security, demonstrating consistent focus on bridging theoretical verification with industrial implementation challenges across three decades.
