About

Teresa Pepe is a leading researcher in 5G mobile transport and computing architectures, with a primary focus on enabling next-generation vertical industries. Her most cited work, "5G Mobile Transport and Computing Platform for Verticals" (2018, 12 citations), makes a foundational contribution by proposing a novel architecture that integrates mobile transport, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), and network functions virtualization (NFV) to support demanding 5G services. Specifically, she maps this architecture onto the ETSI NFV framework, demonstrating its practical viability through two critical use cases: automotive and cloud robotics. This work is pivotal for designing efficient, scalable platforms that meet the stringent latency and reliability requirements of 5G verticals. Pepe’s research bridges the gap between theoretical network slicing and real-world deployment, influencing how operators and vendors build converged transport and computing solutions. Her achievements include advancing the standardization dialogue around 5G system design, with her paper serving as a key reference for engineers and researchers working on end-to-end 5G service enablement. Through her clear, application-driven approach, Pepe has established herself as an important voice in the evolution of 5G infrastructure.
