Education and career

Giordano earned a laurea (the Italian equivalent of a master's degree) in 1987, from the University of Pisa in Italy. After working in Pisa for the National Research Council of Italy, she moved to the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre in 1991. From 1995 to 1998 she was a doctoral student at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. After completing her doctorate, she continued at EPFL as a faculty member from 1999 until 2003, when she moved to her present position at SUPSI. [1] She also chairs the IFIP Working Group 6.3 on the Performance of Communication Systems. [2]

Research

Giordano's early research concerned routing and performance analysis for ad hoc networks, including Body area networks, underwater acoustic communication, and edge computing. A more recent line of research, highlighted in her keynote speech at the 35th International Teletraffic Congress on Networked Systems and Services, involves tracking disinformation on social media, and studies the effectiveness of regulation in safeguarding privacy and preventing disinformation. [3]

Recognition

Giordano has been a distinguished speaker of the Association for Computing Machinery. [4]

ACM SIGARCH is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on computer architecture, a community of computer professionals and students from academia and industry involved in research and professional practice related to computer architecture and design. The organization sponsors many prestigious international conferences in this area, including the International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA), recognized as the top conference in this area since 1975. Together with IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA), it is one of the two main professional organizations for people working in computer architecture.

The International Network Working Group (INWG) was a group of prominent computer science researchers in the 1970s who studied and developed standards and protocols for interconnection of computer networks. Set up in 1972 as an informal group to consider the technical issues involved in connecting different networks, its goal was to develop an international standard protocol for internetworking. INWG became a subcommittee of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) the following year. Concepts developed by members of the group contributed to the Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication proposed by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1974 and the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) that emerged later.
