About myself
Since April, 2022, I am the Head of Network Engineering department of Eolo, one of the largest Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Internet service providers in the world.
From September, 2018, since April, 2022, I have been leading the R&D department of Eolo, in charge of designing and evolving all network software systems of EOLO, with a strong focus on networking automation solutions.
From June, 2016, since August, 2018, I have been working as a software engineer in Eolo, contributing to the BLU project, the Eolo SDN framework.
From February, 2015, since May, 2016, I have been working as a researcher at the San Raffaele Scientific Institute. My activity at the San Raffaele Scientific Institute was focused on the design and development of frameworks for processing genomic data stemming from high-throughput sequencing technologies, such as NGS.
On the 17th of February, 2015, I defended my PhD thesis titled "An SMT-based verification framework for software systems handling arrays" (available here).
From September, 2010, since January, 2015 I have been working as a Research Assistant in the Formal verification group of the Università della Svizzera Italiana led by Prof. Natasha Sharygina.
In 2014 I have been awarded a research fellowship from the SNSF (Doc.Mobility program) giving me the great opportunity of joining Prof. David Monniaux's group at Verimag for six months (from January to June, 2014).
In 2010 I have been working for three months (June - August) as a research intern at FBK in the "Security & Trust" unit led by Prof. Alessandro Armando.
On the 26th of April, 2010, I got my M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Università degli Studi di Milano (University of Milan, Italy) with a thesis (available here in Italian language only) on the formal parameterized verification of fault-tolerant protocols.
On the 25th October, 2007, I got my B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Università degli Studi di Milano (University of Milan, Italy) with a thesis (available here in Italian language only) on the analysis of stop condition approaches for epidemic algorithms used in opportunistic networks.
Most relevant projects I have been working on
-
BLU
The EOLO SDN framework. More details about BLU are available here. -
Booster
An abstraction and acceleration-based software model-checker for programs handling arrays. More details about Booster are available here. -
Automated Support for the Design and Validation of Parameterized Systems
Towards the application of infinite-state model checkers in the design and verification of fault-tolerant parameterized protocols. More details about this project are available here. -
MCMT
A model checker for infinite-state systems based on the integration of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solving and backward reachability. More details about MCMT ara available here.
