His research focuses on next-generation networking technologies, particularly in the domains of 5G/6G, AI-driven network automation, optical and elastic networks, energy efficiency, and the Recursive Internetwork Architecture (RINA). His work integrates machine learning and artificial intelligence to enhance network performance, security, and sustainability. He has made significant contributions to multicast routing, QoS assurance in RINA networks, and delay modeling in multidomain environments.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend toward integrating AI and machine learning into network control, particularly for 6G services and secure distributed AI. His work spans modeling, simulation, and real-world experimentation, with applications in smart buildings, vehicular networks, and telecom infrastructure. Key themes include latency estimation, energy optimization, network programmability, and time-sensitive networking.

Davide Careglio has been involved in prestigious EU-funded projects such as HORIZON 2020 and HORIZON EUROPE, including initiatives like ALLIANCE, SUNSET, and PRADIOT. He has also contributed to the Erasmus+ HEDY project, focusing on AI in education.

He has advised PhD students, including D. Sembroiz, whose thesis focused on smart building IoT platforms. He actively collaborates with leading researchers such as Luis Velasco, Josep Solé-Pareta, and Salvatore Spadaro. He serves on the scientific committees of major conferences including IEEE GLOBECOM, IEEE ICC, and ICTON.

He is a member of the CBA and IDEAI-UPC research groups at UPC, which are at the forefront of innovation in optical networking, AI for networks, and sustainable telecom infrastructures. These groups lead projects in programmable, knowledge-defined, and self-managed networks.
