Biography
I am a Senior Software Architect & Researcher at NVIDIA, where I develop high-performance networking systems that accelerate HPC and AI at scale. My expertise lies in high-performance programmable data planes, end-host network stacks, and large-scale distributed infrastructure.
I hold a Ph.D. in Computer and Control Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin, during which I was also a visiting PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Before joining NVIDIA, I served as CTO at Path Network and as an Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Milano, and I also worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Queen Mary University of London. During my career, my work has spanned both networks and systems, focusing on topics such as global DDoS mitigation, SmartNIC/FPGA offload, and adaptive data-plane architectures optimized for workload demands.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing volleyball, tennis, and padel, and I am passionate about music, particularly playing the trumpet.
