Marco Rapelli is an Assistant Professor (RTD-A) at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering (DAUIN), Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 2021, with a thesis on urban mobility applications and services. His research focuses on Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (CCAM), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies, and large-scale urban mobility studies. He has developed open-source tools and platforms for vehicular simulation and field testing, including the VaN3Twin digital twin simulator and the OScar framework. He has been involved in several national and European research projects, including H2020 projects CONNECT and RAINBOW, the PNRR RESTART initiative, and the ToMove project. He has co-chaired a Workshop at IEEE VTC2025-Spring and he has given Tutorials on connected vehicle technologies at major IEEE Conferences, including IEEE VTC2025-Fall and IEEE VTC2026-Spring.
