Biography

I am a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor (RTD-B) at University of Milano-Bicocca (Milano, Italy).

I received my BSc (2010) and MSc (2012, summa cum laude) in Telecommunications Engineering (Networking area) both from Politecnico di Milano (Milano, Italy). My master thesis investigated users' privacy concerns in a Smart Grid scenario.

In June 2016 I pursued a PhD degree in Information Technology at Politecnico di Milano. During my PhD studies I worked on Content Delivery and on the emerging Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm. 

From March 2016 to March 2020 I worked with Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Trento, Italy) initially as Postdoc Researcher, being promoted to Expert Researcher in 2018. I was involved on several research topics including Fog Computing, Network Monitoring, SDN Multi-layer Networks and NFV.

In April 2020 I joined the Department of Informatics, Systems and Communication (DISCo) of University of Milano-Bicocca as Non-Tenured Assistant Professor (RTD-A), becoming Tenure-Track Assistant Professor (RTD-B) in November 2022. I am currently working on various topics related to computer networking, including Serverless Computing applied to NFV, Programmable Data Planes for Network Monitoring and Machine Learning applied to Network Security. I also carry on teaching activities.

I have published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers in reputed international journals and conferences (ORCID). You are also welcome to visit the website of the DISCo's Real time Events and Decision Support (REDS) laboratory.
