About

Leonardo Goratti is a leading researcher in next-generation mobile networks, with a focus on 5G and beyond, edge computing, and network virtualization. His work addresses the critical challenge of enabling ultra-low latency and high data rates for demanding applications like virtual and augmented reality, robotics, and drone communications. Goratti’s major contributions lie in developing frameworks for managing and orchestrating virtualized network functions across multi-technology edge networks. His highly cited 2021 paper, "Managing Chains of Application Functions Over Multi-Technology Edge Networks," with 20 citations, proposes novel solutions for efficient service chaining and traffic steering. Earlier foundational work in 2018, "Virtual Function Placement and Traffic Steering over 5G Multi-Technology Networks," with 12 citations, established key principles for optimizing resource allocation in heterogeneous network environments. Through these contributions, Goratti has helped shape the architectural evolution of edge computing, enabling the seamless integration of diverse network technologies to support the stringent performance requirements of emerging applications. His research continues to influence the design of agile, low-latency network infrastructures critical for the future of connected systems.
