Academic Achievements
- Leads the Systems-Nuts research group, involved in numerous projects including large-scale classical simulation of quantum computers, quantum circuit cutting, and the Popcorn Linux Next++. Has a substantial publication record, details available through his Google Scholar or Microsoft Academic profiles.
Research Experience
- Currently a Senior Lecturer and Lab Manager at the Institute for Computing Systems Architecture (ICSA) within the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, also serving as interim IoT Lab Manager and MSc in Computer Science program director. Previously held an Assistant Professor position at Stevens Institute of Technology, was a Principal Research Scientist and Manager at Huawei's German Research Center where he started work on the NDP Operating System and established a new microkernel hypervisor. Prior to that, worked as a Research Assistant Professor and Postdoc at Virginia Tech's ECE, collaborating closely with Prof. Binoy Ravindran, initiating the Popcorn projects (Linux, Xen, LLVM). Also served as a Research Staff Member at CNR in Padova, Italy, working on the RFX experiment.
Education
- PhD from the University of Padova, supervised by Professors Giuseppe Zollino, Adriano Luchetta, and Gabriele Manduchi, graduated at the end of 2010.
Background
- Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) with a broad interest in computer systems, focusing specifically on system software such as operating systems (Linux, DragonFly BSD, Darwin, L4), virtualization environments (QEMU, QEMU/KVM, and Xen), and run-times/compilers/linkers (LLVM, gcc, ld, gold) for parallel, heterogeneous, and distributed computer architectures from embedded to data-center scale. Recently exploring the idea of an operating system for Quantum processing units. Other interests include general-purpose and real-time scheduling, synchronization protocols, distributed algorithms, networking, and storage systems. Performance analysis is his favorite way of investigation, using tracing or simulation tools, and he has been lately investigating power efficiency and fault-tolerance.
Miscellany
- Actively seeking talented (UG, MS, PhD) students and postdocs to join his group at the University of Edinburgh! Encourages those who enjoy hacking system and application code to reach out via email or visit his office.
