I am a Researcher at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), specifically at the Institute of Electronics, Computer, and Telecommunications (IEIIT). Prior to this, from 2021 to 2023, I held a post-doctoral research fellow position at the same institute.

I received my M.Sc. in Automation Engineering (2017) and my Ph.D. in Information Engineering (2022) from the University of Padova, Italy. I currently also serve as an adjunct professor at the University of Padova, within the Department of Information Engineering.

My research is centered on real-time communication networks, with a particular focus on hybrid Wired-Wireless-5G Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) systems. I specialize in the application of these networks in time-critical distributed measurement systems and the development of measurement techniques to assess their performance.

I have been a member of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society since 2024, specifically contributing to the TC-37 - Measurements and Networking.
