Mario Baldi is an Associate Professor (on leave) of Information Processing Systems at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering , Politecnico di Torino , and concurrently a Fellow in the Office of the CTO, Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group, at AMD, San Jose, CA. His career blends deep academic research with extensive industry R&D leadership. Education M.Sc. (Summa Cum Laude) in Electrical Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, 1993 Ph.D. in Computer and System Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, 1998 Research Focus Baldi’s research spans programmable data planes, software-defined networking, big-data analytics for network management, network security, high-performance switching architectures, optical networking, QoS mechanisms, and multimedia/voice-over-IP systems . He is especially known for pioneering work on P4 -based programmable networks and SmartNIC architectures. Publication & Patent Impact Across 150+ refereed papers and 35+ US patents (plus European filings), his recent output concentrates on machine-learning-driven network data-plane functions , disaggregated stateful network services , and cloud-grade DPUs . The 2021–2024 articles emphasize real-time inference directly in the network data plane and modular SDN programming. Awards & Honors Best Paper Award, IEEE ICC 2007 Best Paper Award, IEEE ISCC 2008 Best Paper Award, IEEE GreenComm 2009 Best Paper Award, ACM/IEEE WI/IAT 2014 Grants & Projects Baldi has served as Principal Investigator or Scientific Coordinator on numerous EU Framework and Italian national projects (PRIN, FAR), leading consortia on energy-efficient packet networks, trusted software execution, wireless mesh architectures, and streaming media delivery. Teaching & Mentoring He has taught graduate courses on Enterprise Network Technologies, Computer Network Technologies and Services, Networks/Cloud/Application Security at Politecnico di Torino since 2003. He has also supervised PhD collegi for the Computer and Systems Engineering doctoral program (cycles 19–23) and held visiting/adjunct positions across four continents. Labs & Teams Previously headed the NetGroup (Computer Networks Group) at Politecnico di Torino (2001–2007) and co-chairs the p4.org Architecture Workgroup , driving open standards for programmable networking.
