I am interested in the interaction between compiler and architecture
design, in the field of embedded systems.
My current research efforts revolve around the automation of embedded
processor customization, and the definition of innovative configurable
fabrics: again both in terms of how to architect them, and how to
compile onto them.

In the Past
Before I came to Lugano:
I spent 4 years (01-05) at EPFL
as a postdoc, at the Processor
Architecture Laboratory, headed by prof. Paolo Ienne.
Wonderful time.
Previously I was an employee of STMicroelectronics and, at
the same time, a visiting researcher in the BRASS group at UC Berkeley, where I was
helping
in the definition and implementation of the compiler for SCORE.
Even longer ago, I was a PhD student at Politecnico di Milano,
where I spent 3 and a half years under the supervision of prof. Mariagiovanna
Sami, and I worked on Reconfigurable
VLIW Processors.
During my PhD I spent some time in HP Labs Bristol,
in the Embedded Systems Department headed by Nick Wainwright, and a
little time also with prof. Stamatis Vassiliadis
at Delft University of
Technology.
Before my PhD, working on the final project for the engineering
degree, I was for some months with the VLSI group of prof. Jordi Cortadella
at UPC, Barcelona,
where I
implemented a radix-4 divider in a sea of gates.
To all the above mentioned people goes all my gratitude!
