Ciriaco D'Ambrosio is a Research Fellow at the Department of Mathematics, University of Salerno, specializing in combinatorial optimization and its applications to wireless sensor networks. He teaches courses in operations research and maintains regular reception hours for students on Tuesdays (3:00-5:00 PM) and Wednesdays (4:00-5:00 PM), conducted both in-person and via Microsoft Teams. Education: PhD in Computer Science, University of Salerno (2015) - Thesis: models and algorithms for coverage in Wireless Sensor Network Laurea cum laude in Computer Science, University of Salerno (2011) Research Focus: D'Ambrosio specializes in combinatorial optimization, developing heuristics, metaheuristics, and math-heuristics for mixed integer linear programming problems. His work addresses challenging optimization problems in wireless sensor networks, particularly network lifetime maximization under coverage, connectivity, and interference constraints. His research bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications in sensor network design, seismic monitoring systems, and resource allocation problems. His methodology often combines exact approaches with sophisticated heuristic techniques to solve computationally difficult problems. Publication Trends: Analysis of D'Ambrosio's publications (2017-2025) reveals a progression from foundational work on sensor network lifetime problems toward increasingly sophisticated algorithmic approaches for combinatorial optimization. His recent work shows expansion into seismic monitoring applications while maintaining strong focus on knapsack problem variants and network optimization. His publications appear in high-quality journals including Soft Computing, Computers & Operations Research, and Networks, demonstrating both theoretical rigor and practical relevance of his research. Professional Activities: Member of the Italian Operations Research Society (AIRO) Associate Editor for Soft Computing, A Fusion of Foundations, Methodologies and Applications Active collaborator with researchers including Andrea Raiconi, Raffaele Cerulli, and Francesco Carrabs Research Infrastructure: D'Ambrosio works within the Department of Mathematics at University of Salerno's Fisciano Campus (Building F2, Room 040). His research contributes to the university's growing expertise in computational optimization and has practical applications in environmental monitoring systems like SEISMONOISY.
