I am a principal researcher in the Computing Systems Laboratory (CSL) at the Huawei Zurich Research Center located in Zurich, Switzerland.

My research interests are in the area of domain-specific languages and programming models for high-performance mathematical software. Keep an eye on new releases of ALP, the algebraic programming framework developed by researchers at CSL and the Huawei Paris Research Center.

Short Bio

Laurea in Computer Engineering (B.Sc., Politecnico di Milano, Italy, 2006) and double degree Laurea Magistrale and Master i teknologi/sivilingeniør in Computer Science (M.Sc., Politecnico di Milano, Italy and NTNU, Norway, 2009).

Ph.D. in Computer Science (ETH Zurich, 2017) in the Advanced Computing Laboratory under the supervision of Prof. Markus Püschel. I investigated the problem of generating efficient code for small-scale, dense linear algebra programs developing the LGen and the SLinGen program generators. A copy of my thesis is available from the ETH Research Collection.

Postdoc (2017-2019) and research scientist (2019-2020) in the SPIRAL team in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
