Systems & Computer Architecture
PhD Student, Systems Research Group @ Technical University of Munich
I am a PhD student in the Systems Research Group at the Technical University of Munich, supervised by Prof. Pramod Bhatotia, since October 2024 (expected graduation: October 2028). My interests lie in computer architecture and systems, particularly memory disaggregation at rack scale and the scale-up interconnects, like CXL and related fabrics, that make it possible. Within that space, I focus on cache coherence protocols for heterogeneous systems.
During my master's studies I developed a strong interest in hardware acceleration for deep learning. My master's thesis, carried out in collaboration with the Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL) at EPFL, focused on efficient mapping strategies for convolutional layers on OpenEdgeCGRA, an open-hardware, low-power CGRA platform.
I completed my Master's degree in Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino (Oct 2021–Mar 2024), specializing in embedded systems, and my Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering, also at Politecnico di Torino (Oct 2018–Sep 2021).
I am passionate about bridging the gap between hardware and software in next-generation computing architectures. If you're interested in collaborating or discussing my research, feel free to reach out.

I'm a naturally curious person, always eager to explore new ideas, dissect problems, and find solutions. One of my biggest passions outside of engineering is medicine — I grew up idolizing Dr. House, and I've always loved the mindset of diagnosing problems and figuring out solutions. This approach extends beyond my work; I apply it to everyday life, always searching for ways to understand and fix things.
To take a break from my daily routine, I turn to sports, both indoor and outdoor: skiing, tennis, football, basketball, and padel, to volleyball — yes, I was a hyperactive kid.
Beyond sports, music has been a big part of my life. I played piano and flute for over eight years.
