Welcome to my homepage! I am currently an associate professor at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science, University of Trento, Italy. I am interested in the research problems of low-power and networked embedded sensing systems.
Check page to see our group members, projects and software releases.
Together with my learning partners, we study a variety of topics including, but not limited to, sensor networks, sensing applications, low-power wireless protocols, operating systems/runtimes and systems software, architectural support, platform/hardware design, intermittent computing,
emerging computing architectures and machine learning for embedded systems (TinyML).
Please send me an email to arrange a meeting to discuss potential thesis topics. Undergraduate/Master's Thesis
