BIOGRAPHY
|
|
|
|
From October 200 through April 2007 I was a Post-Doc researcher at the EE Department at UCLA and CENS working with Prof. Mani Srivastava. Before joining UCLA I worked at CSAIL MIT as a Post-Doc with Prof. Sam Madden.
I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science in April 2006 from
University of Pisa, a joint program with MIT, a M.S. in Computer Science from NYU in January 1998, and a M.S. in Mathematics with summa laude from University of Catania in 1994. Since then I had worked in both academia and research labs: I was at University of Catania and at NYU as a C.N.R. (Italian National Reasearch Council) researcher in 1995-1997, at AT&T Labs and Bell-Labs Murray Hill in 1998-2002, at University of Pisa in 2002-2004, and at MIT CSAIL in 2004-2006, first as a Ph.D. student and later as a Post-Doc. |

RESEARCH INTERESTS
|
|
|
|
My research interests focus mainly on the design of algorithms and fault-tolerant protocols for wireless sensor networks and wired networks. I am particularly interested in designing trade-offs that improve the system performance and its scalability, using for instance randomized approaches, quorum systems, and statistical techniques.
Recent work in sensor networks include data integrity, sensing and interpreting images, approximate query answering via time series forecasting, time synchronization, and data consistency in highly mobile networks.
I am also interested in the design of efficient coordination protocols that are resilient to Byzantine failures, and in the design of weaker models. |
