Leonardo Badia

Leonardo Badia is an Associate Professor at the University of Padova. He holds a PhD in Information Engineering from the University of Ferrara and has held academic positions at IMT Lucca Institute and the University of Padova since 2016.

Research Interests: His work focuses on mathematical optimization for communication networks, including Markov models for protocol analysis, cross-layer optimization of routing/scheduling/resource allocation, Age-of-Information (AoI), energy harvesting, and game theory applications. He has published over 200 papers in top-tier journals and conferences.

Recent Articles highlight his contributions to AoI optimization, adversarial modeling in CPS, strategic cooperation in IoT/metaverse, and energy-efficient network protocols. His work spans telecommunications, game theory, and networking, with subfields like hybrid ARQ, multi-radio resource management, and QoS-aware scheduling.

Awards: Best Paper Awards at IEEE MobiWac 2005, IEEE CAMAD 2006, and IEEE Globecom 2007.
