Welcome!

I'm an Assistant Professor at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna - Pisa (Italy), where I'm part of the Real-Time Systems Laboratory (ReTiS Lab) and the Department of Excellence in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.

In July 2020 I received (with honors) the PhD in Emerging Digital Technologies (curriculum Embedded Systems) at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, where I worked at the ReTiS Lab under the supervision of Prof. Giorgio Buttazzo and Prof. Alessandro Biondi.

In 2019 I visited the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems - Kaiserslautern (Germany), where I worked with Björn Brandenburg.

In July 2016 I graduated cum laude in the Master of Science in Embedded Computing Systems, jointly offered by University of Pisa and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna.

In September 2013 I achieved the Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science Engineering at the University of Pisa with the score of 110/110.

Research Interests

My research is focused on Real-Time Embedded and Distributed Systems.
In particular I'm working on:

  • Real-time schedulability analysis
  • Predictability in middleware frameworks (ROS 2, DDS, and more)
  • Real-time operating systems and hypervisors
  • Synchronization protocols
  • Component-based Software Design
  • Predictability in AI-based Applications
