I am an Assistant Professor in the @Large Research group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, working on Multiscale and Post-Moore Architectures for Distributed Computer Ecosystems. Before, I was a PostDoc at the SPCL Group at ETH Zurich, working on reconfigurable hardware for High-Performance Computing. I received my MSc and Ph.D. from the University of Pisa.

My principal research interests are related to Parallel and Distributed Computing with a particular focus on Dataflow Accelerators (e.g., FPGAs) for HPC, Data Stream Processing, and Energy Awareness in Parallel Computing. In approaching these topics my main objective is to provide the application programmer with high-level abstractions and tools to develop complex parallel software with reduced time-to-market.
