Short Bio
Alberto Dainotti is a Research Scientist at CAIDA (Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis), University of California San
Diego, USA. In 2008 he received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering and Systems at the Department of Computer
Engineering and Systems of University of Napoli "Federico II", Italy. His main research interests are in the field of Internet
measurement and network security, with a focus on the analysis of large-scale Internet events. He co-authored several peerreviewed papers published at conferences and in scientific journals and is regularly invited speak er at conferences,
work shops, and operational meetings (DARPA, FCC, IETF, ISOC, RIPE). In 2012 he was awarded the IRTF Applied
Network ing Research Prize. He regularly serves for the European Commission and the US National Science Foundation as
an independent reviewer of projects of project proposals.
