Fabrizio Baiardi

Fabrizio Baiardi serves as Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Pisa, holding continuous faculty appointments since 1984. His career progression includes Associate Professor (1984-1988), Professor (1988-2004), and current Full Professor status since 2004. He chaired the Applied Computer Science degree program from 2005-2013 and maintains active research leadership in cybersecurity.

His research fundamentally explores blockchain applications for security-critical systems, with emphasis on trust modeling in decentralized environments. Key contributions span vaccine distribution networks using Hyperledger Fabric, IoT access control frameworks (TACL), and cyber risk minimization through digital twin patching. Recent work demonstrates consistent focus on translating theoretical security concepts into healthcare, agricultural, and democratic infrastructure implementations.

Analysis of 2020-2023 publications reveals dominant themes: blockchain-enabled security for IoT ecosystems (42% of output), voting system integrity (25%), and social media trust architectures (18%). His methodology consistently combines formal security modeling with practical deployment constraints, evidenced by case studies in smart agriculture and vaccine logistics. The research trajectory shows increasing industry collaboration, particularly with IEEE Access as primary publication venue.
