About

Francesca Moscatelli is a leading researcher in next-generation mobile networks, with a focus on 5G transport and computing platforms, network function virtualization (NFV), and multi-access edge computing (MEC). Her work addresses the critical challenge of enabling diverse vertical services—such as automotive and cloud robotics—by designing efficient, integrated architectures that seamlessly combine transport, mobile, and edge computing resources. Her most-cited paper (2018, 12 citations) proposes a novel architecture mapped onto ETSI NFV standards, demonstrating how to support demanding 5G verticals through a unified Mobile Transport and Computing Platform. This contribution provides a foundational framework for operators and vendors seeking to deploy flexible, low-latency services. Moscatelli’s research is instrumental in bridging the gap between theoretical network slicing and practical implementation, influencing both academic discourse and industry standards. Her work continues to shape the evolution of 5G and beyond, making her a key voice in the development of agile, service-aware network infrastructures.
