Biography

Morgana Duni, born on September 9, 1999, developed a strong interest in aerospace systems and complex engineering from an early stage of her academic career. She studied at Politecnico di Torino, where she pursued a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, specializing in Aeromechanics and Systems.
During her studies, she cultivated a deep interest in the design and implementation of reliable computing systems for aerospace and avionics applications. Her academic path was characterized by a strong interdisciplinary approach, combining elements of systems engineering, digital design, and high-performance computing.
For her Master’s thesis, Morgana worked on the development of radiation-hardened high-performance computing nodes for satellite systems, focusing on the design and validation of a scalable and fault-tolerant onboard architecture . The project involved the implementation of FPGA-based systems integrating RISC-V soft-core processors, high-speed communication links, and fault mitigation techniques such as Triple Modular Redundancy and dynamic reconfiguration. This experience allowed her to strengthen both her theoretical knowledge and practical skills in hardware design, system integration, and experimental validation.
Alongside her academic work, Morgana was involved in team-based activities that enhanced her ability to work in multidisciplinary environments and contributed to the development of complex engineering solutions . These experiences reinforced her interest in research as a process of tackling real-world challenges through structured and innovative approaches.
Her research interests focus on reliable and radiation-aware computing systems, hardware-software co-design, and reconfigurable architectures for space and avionics applications. She is particularly interested in developing resilient systems capable of operating in harsh environments while ensuring performance and reliability.
Currently, she is pursuing a PhD in Computer and Control Engineering, where she aims to further explore advanced computing architectures and communication frameworks for distributed avionic systems, including time-sensitive networking solutions for real-time data sharing and synchronization
