Biography

I was born in a small regional town in Sicily, Italy in 1992. At the University of Catania, I gained a Bachelor’s Degree and I completed my Master’s degree in Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino. In November 2016 I started a Ph.D. in Computer Science focused on programmable data planes and high-speed Network Function Virtualizations. In particular, I'm mostly working with XDP (eXpress Data Path) and eBPF (extended Berkley Packet Filter) as foundation technologies to build a new model of flexible and efficient VNFs and how to exploit them on new container-based cloud environments (e.g., k8s). Apart from my research interests, I love anything to do with technology, music (I love playing trumpet), as well as volleyball and football.

Awards and Honors

  • Our paper "Securing Linux with a Faster and Scalable Iptables", which has been published in the July 2019 issue of the SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (CCR) journal, has been selected as one of the three "Best of CCR" paper and it will be presented in August 2020 at the SIGCOMM 2020 conference.
