Saverio Mascolo

Saverio Mascolo is a Full Professor at the Polytechnic University of Bari, Department of Electrical and Information Engineering. He leads the Control of Computing and Communication Systems Lab (C3Lab) and contributes to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking as an Associate Editor. His research focuses on Future Internet, network congestion control, and real-time communication systems.

• Laurea in Electronic Engineering, Politecnico di Bari (1991)
• PhD in Electronic and Automatic Control, Politecnico di Bari (1995)
• Visiting researcher roles at UCLA (1995, 1999), INRIA (2004), and FTW (2004)

Research spans network congestion control, adaptive video streaming, and real-time communication. His lab develops protocols like TCP Westwood+ and contributes to WebRTC standards. Current projects include low-delay protocols for immersive video streaming and autonomous systems control.

Recent publications emphasize adaptive threshold mechanisms in congestion control, millimeter-wave radar datasets, and immersive teleoperation systems. Projects integrate nonlinear control, time-delay analysis, and cloud-based multimedia delivery.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Elevated to IEEE Fellow (2018) for congestion control contributions
• Google Faculty Award (2014) for WebRTC research
• Cisco Research Award (2013) for video streaming control
• Best paper awards at MMSYS (2025, 2024, 2016)

Grants fund research in cloud-based video platforms (MISE, 2017-2020), WebRTC optimization (MIUR, 2012-2015), and network control algorithms. His lab collaborates with institutions like Uppsala University (since 2001) and industry partners.
