Presentation Title: 
Resilient Information Processing in Urban IoT Systems
Abstract: 
The urban Internet of Things (IoT) conglomerates information acquisition, transportation and processing systems to form an integrated infrastructure. The complexity, heterogeneity and multi-scale nature of such infrastructure makes the problem of supporting a wide spectrum of applications daunting. This talk will present our recent results in distributed classification and communication/data processing control for mission-critical applications operating in this complex environment. Two specific case-study applications will be discussed: infrastructure-assisted autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and healthcare systems.
Bio: 

Marco Levorato joined the Computer Science department at UCIrvine in August 2013. Between 2010 and 2012, He was a post-doctoral researcher with a joint affiliation at Stanford and the University of Southern California working with prof. Andrea Goldsmith and prof. Urbashi Mitra. From January to August 2013, he was an Access post-doctoral affiliate at the Access center, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. He is a member of the ACM, IEEE and IEEE Comsoc society. His research interests are focused on next-generation wireless networks, signal processing, cyber-physical systems, smart city and smart energy systems. He has co-authored over 75 technical articles on these topics, including the paper that has received the best paper award at IEEE GLOBECOM (2012). He completed the PhD in Electrical Engineering at the University of Padova, Italy, in 2009. He obtained the B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering summa cum laude at the University of Ferrara, Italy in 2005 and 2003, respectively. In 2016, he received the UC Hellman Foundation Award for his research on Smart City IoT infrastructures.
