Mattia Campana

A little about me.

I am Mattia Campana, a Research Scientist at the Institute for Informatics and Telematics of the National Research Council of Italy (IIT-CNR). I received my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Pisa in collaboration with the IIT-CNR in 2019. My research activity is related to the study and application of Context-aware Recommender Systems to optimize the data dissemination and content discovery in Opportunistic Networks and to provide proactive services to mobile users.
