Biography

He graduated in Computer Engineering (Embedded Systems) from Politecnico di Torino in 2023. During his MS thesis, he began collaborating with the CAD and Reliability research group, focusing on automating the insertion of hardening mechanisms in electronic circuits to achieve standard Functional Safety compliance levels. This experience deepened his understanding of Functional Safety challenges and prepared him for advanced research. Following graduation, he joined the CAD and Reliability group as a PhD student, with a research topic entitled "Methodologies for Next-Generation FuSa/Soft Errors Analysis and Verification."

His research primarily addresses the challenges of applying Functional Safety principles to the increasingly complex domain of modern circuits. As new manufacturing technologies emerge, so do manufacturing defects, such as small delay defects, which require effective modeling and targeted solutions throughout a product's Functional Safety lifecycle. Additionally, due to stringent area and power constraints, modern circuits demand advanced methodologies that can automatically implement selective hardening on their most critical components. Manual selection of these components is becoming infeasible as circuit sizes and complexity grow. Furthermore, Functional Safety applications in cutting-edge processing units, including neural processing units, remain underexplored and necessitate specialized methodologies. These modern units have unique operational characteristics that set them apart from standard processing units and require tailored approaches to ensure their reliability and safety.

Through his work, he aims to address these gaps and contribute to the development of robust Functional Safety practices in advanced electronic systems.
