​I am an associate professor in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University, and I have an adjunct appointment in the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Missouri. Prior to joining NC State, I was an Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Missouri.  From August 2009 to August 2010 I worked as Research Staff Member at NEC Laboratories America (Systems Architecture Dept), in Princeton NJ. I got my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis working under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Crowley. From December 2000 to September 2004 I worked at IBM Deutschland Research & Development, Germany, within IBM eServer zSeries firmware group. Prior to that, I got my Laurea Degree (cum laude) at Politecnico di Milano, Italy.

My research activities focus on different directions: (i) acceleration of pattern recognition, data analytics and bioinformatics algorithms on parallel architectures; (ii) design of programming models, compiler techniques and runtime components for hybrid systems containing multi-core CPUs and coprocessor devices (e.g., GPUs, FPGA-based accelerators), (iii) high-speed implementation of networking applications (e.g., IP lookup, deep packet inspection). I am interested in any kind of parallel hardware: multi-core CPUs, GPUs and other many-core devices, network processors, field programmable gate arrays, and clusters of computers. I enjoy working at the boundary between hardware and software.
