RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
I am currently performing a Visiting Scientist activity at European Space Agency (ESA), within the PhD framework in System and Computer Science Engineering. During my PhD, I had the chance to do several widespread activities like teaching, publishing (papers and a book chapter), attending international conferences, interacting with company managers (e.g., Thales Alenia Space), presenting and discussing my work in front of a broad knowledge audience. Furthermore, during the period at ESA, I dealt with both development and project management issues, providing effective support to ESA’s contractor companies. These experiences (and many others) were essential in developing my communication and interpersonal skills.
I have a sound knowledge in space on-board architectures and in RAMS analysis. I am well-versed in different kind of code generation tools. I have deep experience in powerful frameworks for automatic generation of test cases and I am skilled in code analysis, benchmarking, partitioning and documentation.
I am able to think out of the box and to quickly grasp and depict a (functional) system overview. I am skilled in analyzing software for inspecting/debugging purposes. Personally, I am curious and active, able to quickly fill knowledge gaps. I absolutely like to work in a team and, if needed, to coordinate it, being able to work under pressure and to meet deadlines.

Effective support to the "Latch up protection for COTS memories in space" ESA activity under contract no. 22866/09/NL/AT. Design and test of a memory bank IP embedding dependability means with multiple failure tolerance. Evaluations are performed according to specific RAMS requirements. Proper space system functional modes were identified, while the applied knowledge of safety and RAMS analysis led to the definition of proper Failure Detection Isolation Recovery (FDIR) methodologies – Error Correcting Codes (ECC) design via powerful C/C++ code generation tools and MATLAB Simulink HDL Coder. Implementation on RASTA 6x SpaceWire Router by Aeroflex Gaisler, baseline space-like implementation of a non volatile mass memory for the Modular Advanced Mass Memory Architecture (MAMMA) – RTEMS device driver development with RTEMS cross-compiling chain and RASTA environment. |

Currently working on the dependability assessment of flash memories for space applications. Evaluations are performed adopting reliability prediction (e.g., Mean Time Between Failures), Burn-in Analysis (e.g., stress tests until End-Of-Life of the device) and also fault-modeling techniques. On the one hand, UML description of a Flash Translation Layer (FTL) is adopted to automatically generate C++ code for implementation and integration inside commonly used RTOS (e.g., eCos). On the other hand, Data Display Debugger and Source Navigator were adopted to thoroughly analyze and partition Yet Another Flash File System (YAFFS) in a generic architecture made of functional blocks (FLARE). State-of-the-art benchmarking tools (PostMark, Bonnie, and Fstress) were adopted to assess different implementations of such blocks. Doxygen was exploited to produce meaningful documentation of the proposed architectures. Furthermore, a C-based ad-hoc framework automatically generates specific Error Correcting Codes (ECC) architectures. Test-benches code generation, aimed at automated testing, was performed for the generated ECC architectures.
