Curriculum

Principali interessi di ricerca:

  • Progettazione di sistemi embedded, ossia di quei dispositivi elettronici dedicati al controllo di apparecchiature meccaniche, elettriche e idrauliche, dal settore automobilistico passando per quello industriale fino all’elettronica di consumo; gli aspetti maggiormente investigati sono legati alle fasi di moderazione, validazione, verifica e simulazione.
  • Analisi di sistemi embedded di rete con particolare enfasi alla loro progettazione automatica, verifica e ottimizzazione delle prestazioni, in particolare nei settori delle reti di sensori e dell’Internet della cose (IoT), dall’informatica industriale fino ai sistemi ciberfisici.
  • Realizzazione di software ottimizzato per sistemi embedded attraverso la sua modellazione ad alto livello indipendente dalle architetture fino alla specializzazione per architetture di calcolo eterogenee composte da processori di uso generale, hardware programmabile e processori dedicati come le GPGPU.
