Ambizione Grant for Dr. Antonio Di Maio

Dr. Antonio Di Maio is an Advanced Postdoc in Mobile Networking and Distributed Artificial Intelligence at the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Bern. From 1 September 2025, Dr. Di Maio and his Ambizione project will be hosted at D-ITET by the Distributed Computing (DISCO) group, led by Prof. Dr. Roger Wattenhofer.

In his research project, Dr. Di Maio aims to investigate how to optimally execute and distribute artificial intelligence across a large number of mobile, resource-constrained, wireless communication devices with sensing capabilities. Specifically, Dr. Di Maio will research novel data-driven methods for optimizing collaborative, distributed machine-learning model training and inference with limited computation and communication over the Internet of Things. Furthermore, he will explore new approaches for continuously adapting the architecture of such distributed models to balance task performance and resource consumption. He will also investigate methods for efficient inter-device, inter-model knowledge exchange. This project envisions an environment in which a massive number of small devices executing lightweight machine-learning models are deployed across an extensive area, requiring intelligent methods to orchestrate limited resources and intermittent connectivity through opportunistic communications. Dr. Di Maio will also study how multiple wireless devices can collaboratively build accurate data-driven communication models starting from analytical methods.

Welcome to the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, Dr. Antonio Di Maio!
