Biography
Announcement: Effective July 2023, I have taken up the position of Assistant Professor (RTDA) at Politecnico di Milano in Italy.
Between June 2020 and June 2023, I served as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), UK. I hold an M.S. and Ph.D. degree (with honors) in Computer and Control Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin. During my academic journey, I gained invaluable research experience at the University of Cambridge, UK, as well as the EIT Digital Silicon Valley Hub in San Francisco. Furthermore, I contributed my expertise as a network consultant to various companies and startups in Italy and the USA.
My research primarily revolves around mechanisms and architectures aimed at enhancing host-based network applications, with a particular emphasis on cutting-edge technologies like eBPF and XDP. At present, my focus lies in exploring full-stack network programmability, striving to optimize performance and resource utilization across all programmable layers of the end-host networking stack.
