University of Naples in 1997, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering
from the California Institute of Technology in 1999, and 2003. Before joining UCSD,
he was a post-doctoral scholar at University of California at Berkeley for two years.
Prof. Franceschetti was awarded the C. H. Wilts Prize in 2003 for best doctoral
thesis in Electrical Engineering at Caltech; the S. A. Schelkunoff award in 2005
(jointly with profs. J. Bruck and L. J. Shulman) for best paper in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation;
an NSF CAREER award in 2006, and an ONR Young Investigator award in 2007.
He has held visiting positions at at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the
Netherlands, the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland, and the University of Trento in Italy.
He was on the guest editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory,
special issue on models, theory, and codes, for relaying and cooperation in
communication networks; and of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications,
special issue on control and communications.
His research interests are in communication systems theory and
include random networks,
wave propagation in random media, wireless communication, and control over networks.
