GIUSEPPE D'ANIELLO Curriculum

Giuseppe D’Aniello received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Engineering in February 2010 and February 2013, respectively, both with honors, from the University of Salerno. In March 2018, he obtained his PhD in Information Engineering at the Department of Information and Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics (DIEM) at the University of Salerno. In 2013, he achieved professional qualification as an engineer in the Information Engineering field.

Since 2024, he has been an Associate Professor in Information Processing Systems (IINF-05/A) at DIEM, University of Salerno. In July 2024, he obtained the National Scientific Qualification as Full Professor in the 09/H1 field of Information Processing Systems (IINF-05/A).
He served as a Fixed-Term Researcher (Type B) from December 2021 to October 2024 and as a Fixed-Term Researcher (Type A) from March 2020 to November 2021 at DIEM. In December 2019, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Data Management and Biometrics Group of the University of Twente, Netherlands. In 2018, he held a postdoctoral research position at DIEM.

From 2019 to today, he has taught several courses in the IINF-05/A field for undergraduate and master’s degree programs in Computer Engineering at DIEM and has supervised over 70 theses for Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, as well as co-advised PhD students in the Information Engineering program. From 2014 to 2018, he regularly supported teaching activities, including tutoring, exercises, and participation in exam committees, in courses related to the (IINF-05/A) field at the University of Salerno. He is a member of the PhD Board in Information Engineering (40th Cycle) at the University of Salerno.
At DIEM, he is currently a member of the Study Plans Committee and the Quality Assurance Committee and serves as the delegate for monitoring students’ academic progress.

In 2024, he was named an IEEE Senior Member. In 2025, he has been appointed chair of the Distinguished Lecturers Program Subcommittee of the IEEE SMC Society. Since 2023, he has served as Vice-chair of the IEEE SMC Italy Chapter and Vice-chair of the IEEE SMCS TC on Cognitive Situation Management.
In 2018, he won the international Outstanding SMCS PhD Diploma Work on Human-Machine Systems award for his PhD thesis “Cognitive Models and Computational Approaches for Improving Situation Awareness Systems” in the IEEE SMCS Thesis Grant Initiative for the best PhD thesis of 2017-2018, awarded by the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society. In 2017, he received the Best Paper Award for his paper “A Model Based on Rough Sets for Situation Comprehension and Projection” at the 2017 IEEE Conference on Cognitive and Computational Aspects of Situation Management (CogSIMA 2017).

His research focuses on defining methodologies, approaches, and models for Situation Awareness, leveraging Computational Intelligence techniques, particularly the Granular Computing paradigm, to design and control innovative Cyber-Physical-Social Systems in domains such as logistics, e-learning, and smart cities.
He is the principal investigator of the ConSALE research project (CONstructing Situation Awareness in microLearning Environments) under the SPOKE 3 ECS Rome Technopole initiative. He has also led third-party research projects and FARB projects at DIEM and collaborated on several national R&D projects (PON, PRIN, etc.). He was project manager and research group coordinator for the Agent Systems Research Consortium (CORISA) of the University of Salerno in the R&D projects of the Mar.Te. District. Specifically, he served as the scientific lead of the CORISA local unit, coordinating research activities for the PON project “Safety Link for Sea-Land Logistics.”

He has been an active contributor to the scientific activities of the Knowledge Management and Information Systems (KnowMIS) Laboratory at DIEM, University of Salerno, coordinating the laboratory’s unit and its research collaborations on the “Situation Awareness” research line. His research group has established stable collaborations with several international and national research groups.

Since 2024, he has been a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Cognitive Computation (Springer). Previously, he served as Associate Editor for the International Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing (Springer) and as a member of the editorial boards of journals such as Mathematical Problems in Engineering (Hindawi) and Advances in Computational Intelligence (Springer). He has been a Guest Editor for Special Issues in IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems and Cognitive Computation and serves as a reviewer for numerous international journals and conferences.

He participates in organizing conferences, workshops, events, and lectures. Notably, he is the Technical Program Co-Chair of the 2025 IEEE Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC). He served as the General Chair of the 2022 IEEE Conference on Cognitive and Computational Aspects of Situation Management (CogSIMA) and as Technical Program Co-Chair for the 2024 IEEE Human-Machine Systems Conference. He is also a member of the Technical Program Committees of several international conferences.
