Short Biography

Francesco Flammini got with honors his master (2003) and doctoral (2006) degrees in Computer Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II, Italy. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science with a focus on Cyber-Physical Systems at Mälardalen University (Sweden). He has been a Senior Lecturer and the head of the Cyber-Physical Systems group at Linnaeus University (Sweden). He is serving as the Technical Manager of the EU Horizon 2020 RAILS project addressing Artificial Intelligence in Railways. He has been the principal investigator of national Italian project on Artificial Intelligence applied to Autonomous Systems. He has worked for 15 years in private and public companies, including Ansaldo STS (now Hitachi Rail) and IPZS (Italian State Mint and Polygraphic Institute), on large international projects addressing intelligent transportation systems, critical infrastructure protection and cybersecurity, as a technical leader and unit head. He is an IEEE Senior Member and the chair of the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Homeland Security. He is also a member of the ERCIM Working Group on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems (FMICS). He has (co)authored 100+ scientific publications and has served as a chair, invited speaker, steering/program committee member, and editor for several international conferences and journals. He has been an ACM Distinguished Speaker, an adjunct professor and a guest lecturer of computer science, software engineering and cybersecurity at several universities, including University of Maryland University College (UMUC) Europe, Second University of Naples (Italy), University of Naples Federico II (Italy), University Campus Biomedico of Rome (Italy) and University of Girona (Spain). Since 2020, he is course coordinator of the Big Data and Cloud Computing course at Mälardalen University.
