About me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, in the Network and Cloud Systems group, advised by Prof. Yiting Xia.

My research interests lie in networked systems, with a strong focus on data center networks. As more computing power moves into data centers, I believe there is significant potential for improving efficiency and sustainability by pushing the current boundaries of network engineering. In particular, I am interested in designing specialized network stack solutions for alternative, cost-efficient data center architectures.

More specifically, my work so far has focused on routing and transport protocols for reconfigurable data center networks.

Before starting my Ph.D., I completed my M.Sc. in Computer Science at Saarland University. During this time, I worked as a HiWi (student assistant) in the same research group, where I first developed my first interest in reconfigurable data center networks. Previously, I received by B.Sc. from University of Bologna advised by Prof. Renzo Davoli, working on userspace network virtualization and DNS in his VirtualSquare laboratory.
