Roberto Morabito

Roberto Morabito is an Assistant Professor in the Communication Systems department at EURECOM, focusing on edge computing, IoT, and AI integration in telecommunications. His work emphasizes optimizing resource-constrained environments through techniques like TinyML-as-a-Service, federated learning, and hierarchical inference architectures. He has pioneered research into edge-native large language models (LLMs), 6G-enabled AI systems, and lightweight virtualization for IoT gateways.

Key research themes include energy-efficient AI deployment at the network edge, smart environment interaction via context-aware systems, and interoperability frameworks for distributed AI applications. His contributions span standardization efforts in IoT protocols (e.g., CoAP, MQTT), open-source projects like Kuksa for automotive systems, and empirical evaluations of edge computing performance in vehicular and smart city scenarios.

Publications from 2023-2025 highlight advancements in hierarchical LLM routing, edge-first generative AI, and adaptive resource management for federated learning. His work bridges theoretical models with practical implementations, addressing challenges like model quantization, latency reduction, and scalability in heterogeneous networks.
