His current research interests include synthesis, verification, simulation, and testing of digital circuits and systems. He has managed and worked on several ESA/EU funded projects. 

Stephanie Soldavini is a PhD student in the Department of Electronics, Informatics and Bioengineering at Politecnicodi Milano. She received her Bachelors and Masters of Science in Computer Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology in the United States in 2019. Her masters thesis was on reduced-graph based optimizations for scheduling in high-level synthesis. Her research focuses on automatic hardware generation with a focus on memory aspects.

Roberto Rocco is a Research fellow in the Department of Electronics, Informatics, and Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano. He received his Bachelor and Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2020. He has been a PRACE Summer-Of-HPC intern at EPCC Edinburgh working on Fault Tolerance with Persistent Memory. His research interests are on fault tolerance for HPC (MPI-based) applications and optimization of adaptive applications in a heterogeneous (fog/edge) environment.
