Claudia Canali

Claudia Canali is an Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering "Enzo Ferrari" within the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Her work focuses on distributed systems, edge and fog computing, and gender equality in academia.

She has extensively researched optimization algorithms for micro-service placement, load balancing, and resource allocation in fog and edge computing environments. Her publications address challenges such as latency reduction, energy efficiency, and network congestion in smart city applications.

Recent studies include the development of next-generation collaborative research platforms like NextPyter, containerized Jupyter environments, and simulation tools such as ConSUMO. She also contributes to initiatives like the "Digital Girls" summer camp to reduce gender gaps in computer science education.

Her peer-reviewed articles span theoretical models validated through simulation, practical implementations, and interdisciplinary studies on organizational behavior. Her work integrates technical solutions with social impact, particularly in multidisciplinary contexts.
