Donald Elmazi is a Lecturer at University Metropolitan Tirana, where he lectures and conducts researches. He graduated from the Polytechnic University of Tirana with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in Telecommunication Engineering. In 2015, he enrolled in the PhD. program in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering at Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan. His work was focused on IoT, Wireless Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks, Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks, and Intelligent Algorithms. After receiving his PhD diploma, he became a Postdoctoral Fellow at the same university. During his years of research, Dr. Elmazi published 82 International Conference papers (30 First Author) and 30 Journal Papers (11 First Author). 

He is part of a project related to energy efficiency in distributed system in Japan, the project group is composed by a consortium of universities. The goal of the project is to enlarge the life time of the established network and to have better coverage of the nodes/devices within the topology, this will help in different emergency situation scenarios like the earthquake on Fukushima etc,. His role is in conducting different testbeds and living labs in order to get data based on real time scenarios, also to develop simulations related to the topic. He is also engaged with different Erasmus+ projects and other European ones.
