From 1986 to 2011, Prof. Grandinetti was a full professor at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Calabria. He held the position of Vice Rector (from 1999 to 2011) and was coordinator of the Ph.D. Degree Program in Management Science and Engineering.

He was also a Director of the Department of Electronics, Informatics, and Systems for ten years, as well as member of the University Administration Council and President of the Faculty’s Management Engineering Degree Course.

His scientific background is in Electronic Engineering and Systems Science. He is a graduate of the University of Pisa, Italy (doctor degree in Electronic Engineering) and of the University of California at Berkeley (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science). He has also been a post-doc fellow at University of Southern California, Los Angeles and Research Fellow at the University of Dundee, Scotland.

He has been a member of the IEEE Committee on Parallel Processing, and European Editor of a book series of MIT Press on Advanced Computational Methods and Engineering.

Prof. Grandinetti is a member of the Editorial Board of several international journals. He is an author of many research papers in well-established international journals and co-Author, Editor or co-Editor of several books on algorithms, software, applications of Parallel Computing, HPC, Grids, Clouds, Data Science.

Since 1994, he has been part of several Evaluation Panels of European Projects within various ICT and Info society Programs; He has also been reviewer of many EU Projects in the above Programs. He has been recipient and scientific leader of many European-Commission-Funded projects since 1993 (e.g., Molecular Dynamics Simulations by MPP Systems, EUROMED, HPC Finance, WADI). He has been recipient and scientific leader of several national projects (e.g., CNR progetti finalizzati, Grid.it, PRIN).

Prof. Grandinetti is one of the founders of the Consortium SPACI (Southern Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructures), a pioneering Grid infrastructure experiment in Italy. For ten years since 2001, he was Director of a prestigious Centre of Excellence on HPC established at the University of Calabria by the Italian government; Co-managing director of a Supercomputing Centre jointly established by the University of Calabria and NEC Corporation. Recipient and scientific leader of several European-Commission-Funded projects (among others, BEINGRID); Project leader of a node of the most important European Grid Infrastructure for e-science named EGEE.
