I am a PostDoc researcher at the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science of Queen Mary Univerisity of London (QMUL).
I obtained both my M.S. and Ph.D degree (cum laude) in Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino. During the interim between the end of my M.S. and the start of the Ph.D., I have been Visiting Researcher at the EIT Digital Silicon Valley Hub in San Francisco and network consultant for several companies and startup in Italy and USA. Moreover, I have been visiting Ph.D. student at University of Cambridge, UK for 1 year before the end of the Ph.D.
I am particularly interested in programmable data planes and high-speed network function virtualizations with a focus on eBPF and XDP. I am exploring the possibility to build a new model of flexible, efficient and dynamically re-configurable VNFs that are more optimized for the new container-based cloud environments (e.g., k8s).
