I am an Assistant Professor (program AIM: Attraction and International Mobility) at the
Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno, Italy.
In 2015-2019, I was Senior Researcher at TU Berlin, working with Prof. Ben Juurlink and leading as PI the DFG-funded international project CELERITY.
From 2011 to 2015, I was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, working with Prof. Thomas Fahringer, contributing to the Insieme Compiler project and the DK-CIM program at the Scientific Computing multidisciplinary platform.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Salerno in March 2011, supervised by Prof. Vittorio Scarano. There, I was the recipient of several grants and scholarships (HPC-Europa2, HPC-Europa++, DAAD, Cineca ISCRA) and I visited both the HLRS Supercomputing Center and the University of Stuttgart under the supervision of Prof. Carsten Dachsbacher and by Prof. Thomas Ertl.
My research interests include compiler technology, high-performance computing, software optimization and their intersection with various fields such as graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, chemistry, and engineering.
