I come from a pretty small village in the south of Italy. Since I was a kid, I have been interested in science and computers.
I moved to Torino for my studies. Here I did my Ph.D. in electronics engineering, under the supervision of Professor Luciano Lavagno and Professor Mario R. Casue, working on high level synthesis of digital circuits and deep learning acceleration on FPGAs.
Now I am working as AI hardware architect in NXP.
I have two beautiful cats, Artù and Merlino. I love them. A lot.
My main areas of interest are:
- deep learning.
- computer architecture.
- deep learning hardware acceleration for edge AI.
- deep learing models quantization.
- computer science (still trying to finish a proper algorithms and data structures course since 2020).
